Gunshot Victim Banks a Win Against Insurance Company

Bryan, Texas based law firm, Banks & Banks, Attorneys at Law, P.C., has announced their win over a big insurance company in the case of Wilson vs Mora 2015. The case revolved around an incident that took place on New Year's Eve 2011, when roommate Ruben Mora shot and injured James Scott Wilson. Wilson took a bullet to the lung and sustained serious injuries which resulted in medical fees of $26,485.00.

Philip C. Banks of Banks & Banks worked the case on behalf of Wilson, while Colin H. O'Neill of Fulbright Winniford defended Ruben Mora. Although the injuries ended in a significant amount of medical bills, the insurance company would only settle claims to a maximum of $7,500. As a result, Wilson's lawyers took the case to trial on March 30th and 31st.

The outcome of the trial made it clear that the insurance agency viewed the case quite differently from the jury. Wilson was found to have suffered damages to the amount of $124,735, and was awarded $106,024 due to a contributing negligence of 15%.

The entire story can be viewed on the Banks & Banks legal blog, where Wilson is quoted the following regarding the case and his attorneys: "I am proud to be a friend and client of Philip C. Banks. I was so lucky to hire Philip C. Banks as my attorney. He believed in me and my case and he never gave up; he helped me so much."

The firm hopes that potential clients will take note of the happy ending in this case, as it shows how much of a difference an experienced attorney can make in a case against a large scale insurance company. They explicitly noted that in many cases of this kind, the injured plaintiff loses simply due to poor representation.

Banks & Banks, Attorneys at Law, P.C. have made it clear that they will fight for their client's rights, even in the face of sizable opponents, in order to stand up for what is deserved in terms of awards and settlements.
