Houston, Texas Personal Injury Lawyers, Insurance and Business Dispute Attorneys
Having represented thousands of injured workers from across the Country, the Trial Lawyers at Fitts Zehl understand how truly devastating an accident can be. This is why we always devote whatever resources are necessary to ensuring that our clients receive the best medical treatment available as well as the highest recovery possible. By doing this, we make it possible for you and your family to focus on the future, without worrying about whether or not you can afford it.
We also understand the importance of winning, which is why we’ve achieved the results that we have: in just the last three years, our personal injury lawyers have obtained hundreds of substantial verdicts and settlements for clients located throughout the United States. It's because of these results that Super Lawyers recently named Ryan Zehl a "Rising Star," a recognition that's only extended to the top 2.5% of lawyers in Texas.
Our trial record confirms that, unlike many firms, we are always willing to devote whatever resources are necessary to ensuring that our clients are fully compensated: in 2010 alone, we tried seven jury trials across the State of Texas and won each and every one of them.
Whether it’s a maritime case, a serious car, truck or bus accident, a defective prescription drug, or a complex business or insurance dispute, the trial lawyers at Fitts Zehl are ready to fight for you.
We Have the Experience and Resources to Take On Major Corporations
After the 2005 BP Texas City Explosion, the 2008 Imperial Sugar Refinery Explosion, and the April 20, 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon Explosion, many of the injured workers turned to Fitts Zehl for representation. Why? Because our trial lawyers refuse to accept inadequate settlement offers and have years of experience forcing some of the largest companies in the world to accept responsibility by compensating our clients for their damages.
We Go To Trial:
Our Personal Injury Lawyers are never afraid of going to trial because, each time they have, they’ve won. Unlike other firms that are forced to settle cases because they don’t have the experience to go to trial, every one of the lawyers at Fitts Zehl has tried at least 5 cases in the past 2 years.
In fact, since January alone, our trial lawyers have gone to trial and won more cases than many firms will try over the course of a decade.
Our Results have been Recognized by Major News Outlets Across the World:
Our results, both in and out of the courtroom, have received quite a bit of attention over the years. Listed below are some of the major media outlets that have covered our cases:
- CNN
- Good Morning America
- The New York Times
- The Washington Post
- Bloomberg
- Houston Chronicle
- Dallas Morning News
- International Herald Tribune
Fitts Zehl was also named one of the five “Power Lawyers and Law Firms of 2009,” an award that is limited to just five law firms from the state of Texas. Our results, both in negotiation and in trial, prove that we have what it takes to get the job done. We devote whatever time and resources are necessary to ensure that our clients are fully compensated for their injuries and losses – it’s not just our job, it’s our passion.

Our Results
Clients from all over the Country have turned to the Personal Injury Lawyers at Fitts Zehl to represent them in connection with some of the most catastrophic workplace accidents in history. Here are a few of the most memorable:
- The BP Oil Refinery Explosion. We represented over 100 workers who were injured in the BP oil refinery explosion in Texas City, Texas in March 2005. Our explosion lawyers were able to strong arm BP into settling on the 11th day of the trial. The settlement is confidential, but we can say that it was highly favorable.
- Offshore Injuries: a substantial number of the cases are on behalf of workers who were injured on offshore rigs and vessels. If you or a loved one were hurt while working offshore, it’s critical that you hire a lawyer who understands and has experience representing clients under the Jones Act and general maritime laws. Whether you decide to use us or another firm, our maritime lawyers are available anytime to answer your questions.
- Serious Car accidents and 18-wheeler accidents. Our team of personal injury lawyers has consistently obtained substantial recoveries, both in and out of court, for clients who were seriously injured on the road. In the past 4 months alone, we have taken 3 automobile collision cases to trial. We not only won all of them, but our clients also recovered more at trial than the insurance company offered to settle the case.
- Big Pharma. Our Pharmaceutical Defect Lawyers are currently representing over 200 clients from all over the country who were injured by dangerous prescription drugs (including Paxil, Heparin, Avandia and Trasylol). The manufactures, who are some of the largest companies in the World, have vigorously defended the cases, doing whatever they can to dispose of the claims. Despite the drug manufacturers’ efforts, however, we continue to acquire more and more evidence proving that they knowingly made and marketed dangerous drugs.
- The Imperial Sugar Refinery explosion: our Industrial Accident lawyers represented over 10 of the workers who were severely injured in the 2008 sugar refinery explosion in Savannah, Georgia. We were able to secure our clients a confidential settlement that helped them focus on their futures and put the disaster behind them.
- The Georgia International Paper Plant explosion. Even though it occurred in Mississippi, our lawyers were able to secure substantial settlements for our clients within 6 months of filing their lawsuits.
- Hurricane Ike insurance disputes. Our hurricane and insurance dispute lawyers have successfully represented hundreds of property owners against insurance companies that refused to compensate our clients for property damages and lost business revenue in connection with Hurricane Ike.
- Greyhound Bus RolloverAccident. Attorneys Ryan Zehl and Kevin Haynes won a $7.2 million jury verdict in Dallas County on behalf of a female passenger who sustained serious injuries requiring over $25,000.00 in medical expenses.
