Most People Should Never Agree to Arbitration

Almost every adult has signed a contract with a clause requiring arbitration in the event the parties are unable to resolve a conflict relating to the contracted goods or services. These mandatory arbitration agreements often appear in contracts relating to employment, credit cards, car rentals, contractor services, phone services, car loans, home-building and investment accounts. An overwhelming majority of the time, companies include forced arbitration clauses in their contracts to gain an advantage over individuals and consumers.

Claim Against CenterPoint Energy Resolved

Patrick O’Hara recently resolved a lawsuit on behalf of a plaintiff against CenterPoint Energy and one of its employees. While stopped for a red light near the edge of Spring, Texas and Houston, Texas, the plaintiff was rear-ended by a CenterPoint energy truck. The driver diverted his attention from the road in front of him for a brief period of time and was unable to stop in time when he approached the intersection. The plaintiff was taken from the scene of the collision by ambulance to a hospital. The plaintiff suffered injuries to her head, neck and back.
