Alexandria Avera treated me like a person and not just a file. I was in a really bad car accident that put me into a coma and left me with severe injuries. I initially hired another local law firm. When that firm learned that the at-fault driver only had $10,000.00 in insurance coverage, they brought me that check at the hospital . I declined that and they withdrew from my case. But Alex promised to look closer and she did, discovering a different theory and uncovering $2 million in insurance coverage. They did a deep dive into the accident and what happened leading up to it, especially how it was that a minor became drunk before getting behind the wheel of his car. This investigation resulted in their recovering an additional $2,000,000.00 for me – something that will forever change my life and make all the difference in my recovery. Alex and her team kept in touch with me every step of the way to make sure I knew what was going on with my case. The at-fault driver was criminally charged and they made sure to help me with that process and be there for me when I had to go to court for his criminal DUI case. Once my case with them was resolved, they sat down with me with a financial advisor to make sure I knew about all my options to make sure I would be taken care of for the rest of my life.\nIf you are injured in an accident, you very much need to consider carefully your options and hire Alex and her team at Avera & Smith. Had my family not made that phone call, I would be bankrupt from medical bills and in a really bad place.

We’re incredibly grateful you shared your experience, especially in so much detail. From the beginning, Alex and her team knew there was more to uncover with your case. And she didn’t stop digging. What you went through was horrible and life-changing, to say the least. And, well, you deserved a team that would fight like h#@* to make sure you weren't the victim yet again of the insurance company. We’re proud of the work Alex and the team did. And we’re honored you trusted us when it counted most. We wish you continued healing and strength moving forward.
