Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Rebuilding Shattered LivesOur personal injury practice is limited to cases that involve severe or disabling physical or psychological injuries or death. The cause may be due to motor vehicle negligence, unsafe premises, inadequate security, sexual abuse, professional malpractice, or defamation. We know how devastating an injury can be, whether it’s to your body, mind, or reputation, so we fight tenaciously to get you fair compensation. Delay At Your PerilDelay is your enemy. You need to act promptly to avoid jeopardizing your case, and you should ALWAYS contact an attorney before giving a statement to a police officer or the insurance company. Personal injury cases require prompt legal assistance to preserve evidence and interview key witnesses. So feel free to contact our injury hotline any time of the day or night.

Scientific case evaluationWe routinely provide clients with a computer-generated ‘actuarial’ verdict analysis based on a nationwide database of over 100,000 cases. The report tells us statistical likelihood of prevailing at trial along with the likely amount of any verdict.The report takes into account the nature of liability, the age race and occupation of the parties, the nature and severity of the injuries, the presence or absence of lay and expert witnesses, the amount of past and future wage loss, and the county where the injury occurs. Of course, this report is no substitute for professional judgment, but it is a tremendously useful tool in most cases. We Litigate Large ClaimsUnlike many personal injury firms, we are highly selective in case selection. Some law firms focus on settling a large number of small claims. We focus on a small number of large claims. We represent clients who have sustained catastrophic or near catastrophic injuries such as:
We also accept matters involving aggravated liability, such as drunk driving accidents or deliberate misconduct. Although we aim to resolve all claims by settlement without trial, major cases generally won’t settle for anywhere near their true value unless we pursue formal legal action and work relentlessly toward establishing an early trial date. When defendants know we have every intention of going to trial if our clients are not fairly compensated, they are more likely to pay what they owe. Litigation is time consuming, so we are not equipped to pursue cases involving "fender benders" causing minor soft tissue injuries such as chronic back or neck strain.
