DISTRACTED DRIVER CAUSES MAJOR CAR WRECK THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RESOLVE FOR COMMUNITY LEADER MARCUS MOORE

When community leaders work hard and give back, we support them. Our firm has supported several different educational and back-to- school programs over the years. One specific back-to-school event we supported was for Marcus Moore. He is such a hardworking and caring man who gives everything he has to his community, and we wanted to help in any way we could. The Button Law Firm donated BLF gear, along with school supplies for families and kids in need. It was a success. After that, we developed a great relationship with Marcus. He handed out our cards and loved our monthly newsletter. A few years later, he gave us a call — one we don’t like to get from people in the BLF community. WHAT HAPPENED In June 2019, Marcus was T-boned by a driver who failed to stop at an intersection and slammed into Marcus’ driver’s side door. The impact was so severe that it ruptured his patella tendon and required major knee reconstruction surgery. The surgery was very invasive and left him bedridden for several weeks and on crutches for several months. It was a long, slow process to get back on his feet. Marcus was out of work for over six months and put on disability during that time. Since he lived alone, he needed a lot of help. Thankfully, we knew how to help him throughout this process. HOWWE HELPED Marcus called us right away and wanted us to jump in immediately to handle everything for him so he could focus on getting his life back together and move forward.

Next, we were able to help track his medical appointments to make sure he got to each doctor he needed. This helped him have peace of mind that he was getting the care he needed. Undergoing major knee surgery and working through the workers’ compensation program in Texas is not easy.

Once he began to recover from his surgery, he was able to get into a good physical therapy program. We stayed in touch weekly to learn what he was going through so we could convey that to the insurance company.

This wreck truly changed his life.

CUTTING-EDGE DEMANDS Once Marcus finished treatment, we had his demand package ready to go. The entire team worked on this, and it put the insurance company on notice that this was a serious claim. After negotiations began, we kept the pressure on them. After weeks of tedious back and forth, we had a resolution wrapped up. In the end, all of Marcus’ medical bills were taken care of, and he was provided enough money to get back on his feet to keep his life moving forward. Even though he had a life-altering injury, we were able to give him closure on this chapter in his life. We are always thankful when our BLF community makes us their first call. We want to help when we are needed. We hope that none of our BLF community gets involved in catastrophic car or truck wrecks, but when they do, we have the team and resources to act quickly.

First, we were able to guide him to resolve his property damage claim quickly and easily.
