About
Founded 2007
Zehl & Associates stands out as a premier personal injury law firm with national acclaim, having secured billions in compensation for individuals affected by accidents and wrongful deaths throughout Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, and beyond. The firm has an impressive track record of achieving some of the largest verdicts and settlements on record in personal injury cases. Recognized among the top five personal injury legal practices in the United States by ALM and the National Trial Lawyers Association, Zehl & Associates recently made headlines for obtaining what is now known as the largest oilfield accident settlement ever recorded nationwide—representing an oilfield worker who suffered severe burns from a well explosion during operations. This was preceded by a landmark $23.5 million settlement for truck accident claims and a monumental $100 million resolution related to injuries sustained in a plant explosion. Demonstrating their prowess against major companies like Greyhound Bus Lines along with various other transportation entities, Zehl & Associates became pioneers by successfully implementing court-ordered sleep studies to highlight undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea issues among commercial drivers—a first of its kind nationally. A notable achievement includes securing R&L Carrier's highest verdict after an intensive five-week trial held in Dallas; they also achieved unprecedented punitive damages due to deficiencies within driver training programs at that company. In addition to these victories over large corporations affecting numerous lives positively through litigation efforts; just last year Ryan achieved over $18 million—the firm's most substantial win—in opposition to another significant transport entity following injuries incurred from an automobile collision where initial settlement offers fell woefully short at only $150k prior going into trial proceedings.
