Tony, I can't tell you what a blessing you and your team have been during the most tragic time in our lives. By taking over the responsibility of dealing with the hospital bills and insurance companies you've allowed me to focus on my duties as a father and husband.
My family and I just want to thank you for everything you have done and dedication in this car seat case.
I will always keep your professionalism in my heart! Thank you again Chad and Vanessa!
I went to a local lawyer to help my father and I after we were injured in an 18 Wheeler crash. That lawyer brought in another lawyer. Finally, Chad came on board and got our case resolved.

Balcony Collapse in Austin Injures 23

Posted on Aug 02, 2010

Early Sunday morning at approximately 4:15 a.m., the balcony of a second-story condominium in Austin collapsed during a party. The accident happened just a few miles from downtown Austin at the Garden Court Condominiums.

At the time of the accident, 30 people were standing on the balcony. Twenty-three people sustained injuries that required medical treatment. The hospital staff at University Medical Center-Brackenridge treated the injured partygoers.

Although the injuries were not serious enough to be categorized as life threatening, five people remained at the hospital on Sunday afternoon. Some injured partygoers suffered from minor injuries, like scratches while others received treatment for more serious injuries, like fractures.

It is always unfortunate when a balcony collapses and causes injuries or death. A party where many guests congregate on the balcony can result in unintended accidents when the balcony proves incapable of holding the weight of those standing on it. A collapse of a balcony may occur because of a variety of reasons, including deterioration caused by age or exposure to the weather, which may impair the balcony’s structural stability.

At Denena & Points, we have represented clients injured in balcony accidents. One such case involved a balcony collapse in a Houston apartment complex.
