Incredible Trial Records

Before you hire an attorney, make certain you know their jury trial history and their results! Many attorneys who call themselves “trial attorneys” have not taken a case to trial in years or have only had several jury trials.  Insurance companies know which attorneys will back down at the last minute and which attorneys will fight for their clients.  This fact alone significantly affects the value of your case!  Ask the attorney (1) when was the last time they personally had a jury trial; (2) how many jury trials they have tried; and (3) what is their own personal largest jury verdict?

This tragic case involved a young mother of three who was T-boned by a commercial vehicle in rural Oklahoma while crossing a highway. Prior to our handling of the case, two previous attorneys indicated they could not help this family and turned the case down. Through the retention of a forensic crash engineer, we established that the truck swerved into her lane of traffic and a jury returned a damage award of $20,000,00.00 which when reduced by comparative fault resulted in a $12,000,000.00 verdict for our client.
