Case Results
Please note that each case must be evaluated on the specific facts and evaluation of a specific case may vary from "no merit" to a multi-million dollar recovery. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Most cases cannot be evaluated until after all medical treatments have been completed and an opinion from a physician is obtained as to the permanent consequences of the injury. Additionally, the legal liability, financial ability, and insurance coverage of the responsible parties must be determined, as well as any comparative fault of the injured person. There are many other factors that must be considered, including the character and abilities of witnesses and evidence available to prove the case.
