For more than 25 years, I have represented clients whose lives have been severely affected by the negligence of others. Some clients have been injured in car wrecks caused by intoxicated or impaired drivers. Others have been hurt by drivers texting or talking on the phone.
Some clients have lost a parent, wife, husband or child because of a doctor's negligence, and still others lost the use of their limbs operating broken machinery or wearing worn safety equipment.The circumstances that bring a client to my law firm may be different, but the anxiety of dealing with ongoing pain, lost employment, medical bills, and uncaring insurance companies is common to most all injured clients.

I became passionate about using my law degree to help others. Since becoming licensed in 1991, I've dedicated most of my career representing clients injured by the negligence of others. Before opening my own practice in 2010, I worked in both large and small personal injury practices. The Avant Law Firm does not advertise.
Angela Shill has been a legal assistant at Avant Law Firm since 2014. She schedules court hearings, depositions, mediations, and orders clients' medical and billing records from their medical providers. Angela finds the legal practice fascinating. She enjoys being a part of the law firm team and interacting daily with lawyers, court staff, and clients.
Negligent driving is the failure to exercise ordinary care while driving. This means failing to do what a careful driver would do under the same circumstances. Examples might be following another car too closely or driving at a speed that is unsafe for the conditions. Another example could be failing to wait for a car to pass before turning left at an intersection.
In an urban city like Dallas, we see car accidents almost every day. As a result, we can become numb to the trauma they can cause. But whenever a driver ignores the rules of the road, we are all at risk. And for anyone who has been hurt in a car accident, you know how hard it is to get the medical care you need and the other driver's insurance company to pay for it.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation, nearly 4,000 persons were injured or killed in pedestrian and bike accidents in 2018. Dallas is making an effort but has a lot of work to do toward its goal to become more bike-friendly. The Dallas Morning News reports that Dallas has built only one-quarter of the bike lanes planned between the city and Fort Worth.

Everyone at Avant was attentive to my situation. They took on my case after insurance let me down twice. They were expedient in fighting for me and giving me a wide range of options for dealing with my accident.
I can't begin to repay them for the work they did but this is start. If you need legal help with an accident this is the firm to go to :).
