Testimonials
- A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...
- Robert Nutting - My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...
- Cheryl H - I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.
- Evie Newbold - Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...
- Rick Kelley - As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Make sure the firm you hire is willing to take the case to trial.
Any lawyer can settle a case. The truth of the matter is that any lawyer can negotiate the settlement of a personal injury claim. The question is whether they will settle the case for a fair and just amount or will they take whatever the insurance company offers. Lawyers without track records and experience in trying cases to juries have no leverage with insurance companies and insurance defense law firms. The insurance companies and insurance defense law firms know that many attorneys will not go to court, and therefore they are not compelled to offer anything close to a fair and just settlement. They know that if the personal injury victim is represented by a lawyer who doesn't go to court that lawyer will have to recommend a settlement for much less than the full fair and just value of the claim. If you have a law firm for a serious personal injury claim make sure that law firm can prove to you that they have leverage based on their experience and track record. Have them put you in touch with former clients who they have actually represented in a courtroom and gotten jury verdicts for.As we noted before, the only thing the insurance companies respect is a law firm that has taken cases all the way through to jury verdicts successfully.
