Personal Injury Case Results

I have recovered millions of dollars in money on behalf of my clients in New Mexico and now in Texas. The cases here do not represent all cases and all recoveries. This is a sampling of cases settled by the Law Office of W. Shane Jennings from 2019-2023.

Bicycle Accidents 

Case:  $250,000 – Policy Limits $91,752.10 to Client Settled in about 2 weeks. Client was in a serious bicycle accident. he was rushed to the emergency room in Texas where he underwent surgery because he was degloved – his flesh was stripped from his bone. The ER began the process of placing a lien on his home to collect an astronomical medical bill.  When I stepped in, I was able to use New Mexico law where the accident occurred and Texas law where the emergency surgery occurred to obtain a policy limits settlement, stop the lien, and get the client $91,752 plus change. I was able to turn a situation where he was seriously injured, and his property was going to be attached to into a positive financial outcome for him. This was accomplished in about two weeks without a suit.
