Attorney A. Sadat Montgomery, Esq., is an experienced personal injury attorney with a demonstrated history of results. As the founding partner of Montgomery Law, PLLC, Sadat has tried and settled many complex personal injury and wrongful death cases—often resulting from catastrophic auto accidents.

In Texas' latest legislative session, lawmakers tried (but ultimately failed again) to pass a law prohibiting the controversial "swoop and settle" practice used by unscrupulous auto insurance companies. Texas' failure to act on this issue is concerning, as it’s a serious consumer protection issue.

While there’s not much (if any) data showing that having a dash cam in your vehicle makes you a better driver per se, the true purpose of a dash cam is to act as a silent and reliable witness should you ever need one.

If you follow the news or even social media, you’ve probably seen your fair share of ridiculous lawsuit headlines. The stories rarely even originate from your state, but because they drive engagement (i.e., clicks, comments, shares), they often get picked up by countless local news outlets across the country and end up spreading like wildfire.

At 19, Haley Taylor Schlitz is about to become the youngest ever graduate from SMU's Dedman School of Law. She’s also the youngest Black woman to ever graduate from law school in the U.S.

After a car wreck, one of the biggest concerns for victims is money. You may be out of work and struggling to pay your monthly bills—on top of your ever-increasing medical expenses. The good news is that there’s no financial risk in hiring an accident injury attorney.

Most states use what’s called a "modified comparative fault" rule when it comes to determining liability in a car accident. This means that as long as you can show that you were less than 50% at-fault for the accident, you should still be able to recover compensation for your injuries, losses, and other damages.

As a general rule, the compensation received from most personal injury claims (either through a settlement or jury award) is not taxable under either federal or state law.

The parents of Austin McEwen, one of the six victims killed after a tornado pummeled an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, last month, said Monday during a press conference that they are suing Amazon over the alleged wrongful death of their son.

Premises liability law in Texas states (among other things) that certain events, concerts, businesses, and venues have a “duty of care” to provide reasonable safety and security measures in order to mitigate the risk of foreseeable harm to patrons. Failing to do so open could open them up to liability when and if someone is assaulted, injured, or killed as a result of their negligence.

While it may seem like a minor issue on the surface, any accident involving more than two vehicles can result in a complex web of overlapping insurance policies, severely-delayed claims, and a smaller pool of money available to compensate the victims for their losses.

Claims adjusters spend most of their day investigating insurance claims by collecting statements, consulting police and hospital records, inspecting property damage, and looking at how similar claims have played out in the past. The only thing is, they’re only looking at it from one side. Their ONLY goal is to save the insurance company money by paying out as little as possible on every single claim.

Drunk driving accidents are a serious concern across the country, and especially in Texas. Not only have we spent millions of dollars on awareness campaigns and toughened criminal penalties, but courts in Texas have also started holding irresponsible bars, restaurants, and similar establishments civilly liable for failing to responsibly serve alcohol.

A CSB safety video on the October 26, 2019, hydrogen sulfide release at the Aghorn Operating waterflood station in Odessa, Texas. The release fatally injured an Aghorn employee who was working at the facility that evening, as well as his spouse who attempted to locate him at the facility after he did not return home.

Not only do you deserve compensation for any lost wages caused by a personal injury, you deserve to be compensated for your pain and suffering, loss of property, medical expenses, future medical care, and more.

From police reform to legalized gambling and alcohol sales to digital license plates, here’s a small sampling of the bills filed during Texas’ 87th legislative session.

From the "hot coffee" lawsuit to the woman who sued her nephew over an aggressive hug, the headlines are designed to make us groan—but what’s really driving this type of news coverage?

The bill’s language would essentially shift liability from the company to drivers who may not have the financial means to fully compensate plaintiffs. It may also prevent certain information about a company’s past accident history from being introduced as evidence. So if jurors wanted to know whether a company required drivers to undergo safety training; do routine maintenance on its trucks; or if the company’s drivers have a habit of getting into wrecks, it could be inadmissable.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Snapchat can be sued in a case in which a young man used the app's "speed filter" feature before a fatal crash.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, more than 600 people die in #Texas every year in large truck crashes. HB 19, which is being sponsored by State Rep. Jeff Leach of Plano, would be disastrous for those victims' families.

While we would hope that all motorists would be truthful and straightforward about the facts leading up to a serious collision, the truth is that many drivers will flat-out lie in order to shield themselves from liability. This is particularly true if they may have broken the law or depend on a clean driving record for employment.
