Fighting For Our Clients: Christian’s Story


Fighting For Our Clients: Christian’s Story

No one expects to be involved in a car accident. However, if the unthinkable occurs, it is essential to seek representation that will guide you toward justice and recovery. When Christian’s life was changed forever by the reckless actions of a truck driver, Rodriguez & Associates’ dedicated team of car accident attorneys was able to not only guide him through the legal process during his immense physical recovery but also ensure that his needs were prioritized as our team fought for the compensation he deserved.

Years later and still recovering from the substantial injuries he obtained in the crash, Christian recalls how Rodriguez & Associates helped him navigate the difficulties of filing a personal injury lawsuit while overcoming debilitating injuries, and shares his gratitude for our team’s relentless fight against the insurance companies for accountability and just compensation.

Christian’s life changed forever when a big rig suddenly pulled out in front of his vehicle on his way to work. Though he tried to brake, there was no time to stop, and his car was crushed underneath the big rig’s trailer in a catastrophic underride collision. He was stuck, injured, and trapped in his severely damaged vehicle for over thirty minutes before firefighters were able to pull him out using the jaws of life. Lucky to be alive, Christian had sustained serious injuries to his spine and shoulder, as well as a broken orbital, and a traumatic brain injury that caused permanent damage to his vision and memory.

Being released from the hospital was only the beginning of Christian’s recovery, and these catastrophic injuries still affect him to this day. The crash left Christian out of work for over six months. As the sole provider for his family, he was not only physically and emotionally shaken but also struggling to cope financially as his medical costs grew. When the truck’s insurer denied responsibility for the crash and attempted to shift the blame onto Christian, he recognized the need for legal guidance. That’s when Christian turned to Rodriguez & Associates.

“Rodriguez & Associates treated me like a family member. It made my life easier during those rough times because it lifted a lot of pressure off my shoulders. For [Daniel] to personally call me meant a lot. It gave me that trust. I knew he was going to take care of me and my family.”

While apprehensive about seeking legal support, Christian understood that the only path to full recovery was through legal action. He recognized that finding a firm he could trust would be essential due to the complexities of his case. From the moment Christian received a personal phone call from Daniel Rodriguez, the founder and president of Rodriguez & Associates, he felt confident that his case was in the right hands. He established a connection with Daniel, supported by a strong reputation within the community, and that relationship was nurtured by the firm’s constant drive to alleviate any concern, pressure, or worry from Christian and his family. Our team supported Christian throughout the entire legal process, from intake to resolution, providing clear communication, resources, and guidance at every step.

Despite the insurance company’s attempts to deny culpability, our team of auto accident attorneys fought tirelessly to ensure Christian received fair compensation. After a lengthy legal battle, our team successfully negotiated a settlement that would cover Christian’s care for the rest of his life.

“It was just amazing, what they provided to me. I will forever be grateful for that.”
