Undefeated Personal Injury Lawyers with Billions Won for Accident Victims Across Texas, Louisiana and the United States

About us

Zehl & Associates is a nationally recognized personal injury law firm that has recovered billions for accident and wrongful death victims across Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico and the United States. The firm has consistently recovered the #1 largest accident verdicts and settlements in history for its clients and was selected as one of the top 5 personal injury law firms in the United States by ALM and the National Trial Lawyers Association. Just recently, Zehl & Associates obtained the #1 Largest Oilfield Accident Settlement in US History on behalf of an oilfield worker who was seriously burned when the well exploded during a workover. The firm set another record the previous year with a $23.5 Million truck accident settlement and a $100 million settlement on behalf of workers injured during a plant explosion. The firm has also won the #1 largest verdicts and settlements against Greyhound Bus Lines and a number of other large trucking and transportation companies, and was the first law firm in the country to successfully obtain a court ordered sleep study to prove undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea in commercial truck and bus drivers. We obtained the #1 largest verdict in R&L Carrier's corporate history after a 5-week trial in Dallas, Texas, where we also recovered the first punitive damages award against the company as a result of their inadequate driver training policies. The prior year, Ryan recovered over $18 million— the largest verdict in company history—against a major transportation company on behalf of a client who herniated a disk in her lower back during a crash. The week before trial, the company only offered our client $150,000 to settle the case.

  • What does it mean to be undefeated? It’s a standard. It means every case is built as if it’s going to trial. It means preparation that doesn’t flinch under pressure. It means defendants know they can’t rely on delay, denial, or low offers to escape accountability. When the stakes are catastrophic, experience shows. Zehl & Associates is known for an undefeated trial record in high-stakes injury litigation and a track record defined by results, not promises. If your case demands a team that’s proven in the courtroom, start with one that’s never backed down. . . . Zehl & Associates is a Houston-based catastrophic injury law firm representing clients nationwide in complex personal injury cases, recognized for undefeated trial performance and record-setting verdicts and settlements.

  • This isn’t about marketing language or big claims. It’s about what happens when cases are handled with discipline, preparation, and the willingness to take them all the way. Every result reflects years of experience, pressure-tested strategy, and a refusal to accept less than full accountability when the stakes are highest. If your case demands serious leverage, start with a firm built for it.
