If you’ve recently been in an accident and suddenly found yourself receiving unexpected calls from attorneys, clinics, or even tow truck drivers, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered barratry, also known as illegal solicitation.
This manipulative practice is unethical and, more importantly, it’s illegal. At The Miller Law Firm, we don’t just stand up to unethical attorneys—we fight for victims of barratry and can help you claim up to $10,000 per instance of illegal solicitation. Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Barratry?
Barratry, also called ambulance chasing, is when someone illegally solicits accident victims for legal representation or medical services. Barratry often occurs when unscrupulous individuals, often referred to as “runners” or “case brokers,” acquire your contact information without consent through unethical means, such as unlawfully accessing police reports or hospital records.
Examples of Barratry
If any of the following have happened to you after an accident, you may have been a victim of barratry:
- Receiving unsolicited calls, texts, or visits from attorneys, clinics, or case runners.
- A tow truck driver, nurse, or other third party suggesting legal representation or services immediately after the accident.
- Being offered money, gifts, or incentives to sign a contract for legal services.
- Someone claiming they can “speed up your case” or guaranteeing a settlement in exchange for signing an agreement.
- Anyone pressuring, threatening, or coercing you into signing paperwork following your accident.
If you’ve experienced any of the above scenarios, the law is on your side. Contact Adam Miller today to hold these bad actors accountable.
Why is Barratry Such a Big Deal?
Barratry isn’t just annoying or unethical; it’s a violation of Texas law. Attorneys engaging in barratry demonstrate that they’re not willing to play by the rules to earn your trust. This raises some serious questions about what other unethical behaviors they might employ while handling your case.
At The Miller Law Firm, we believe in building trust the right way. Clients come to us because of our proven track record and genuine care for their well-being—not because we chased them down after an accident.
How Can You Identify and Fight Barratry?
If someone contacts you out of the blue after your accident, follow these steps to protect yourself and fight back against illegal solicitation:
- Get Contact Information
Ask for their full name, phone number, and the name of the law firm or clinic they represent.
- Don’t Commit to Anything
Politely decline and say you need time to consider your options. Do not sign any contracts or give personal information on the spot.
- Call Adam Miller, the leading Texas Barratry Attorney
We’ll guide you on the next steps, help you record your conversations with these parties, and collect evidence to build your barratry case. Our goal is to maximize your compensation and hold unethical solicitors accountable.

- Document Everything
Save text messages, emails, voicemails, or any promotional material they sent you. This will be crucial evidence for your case.
