Patrick Cruise and Annette Kelley just finished up a jury trial in Newton County, Georgia. Our client sustained an abrasion to her arm and lower back pain as the result of a car wreck. The insurance company offered to settle the case for a low amount before trial. We tried to be reasonable: our client advised she would accept less than the value of her case, but the insurance company wouldn’t even pay that amount. As a result, the case proceeded to trial. The jury returned a reasonable and fair verdict in the amount of $75,000.
The Hamilton Firm will fight for you, even if you don’t have a “big” case. All cases are important. There are many lawyers who will not try cases. There are many lawyers who handle personal injury cases and have never tried a case to a jury. There are many lawyers who have never obtained a favorable verdict at trial. Yet, those are the lawyers you often see on television and billboards.
The truth is that the only way a plaintiff can obtain fair compensation is if his/her lawyer is willing to take the case to trial. When you hire a lawyer, make sure you hire a lawyer that will actually take your case to trial when needed, and a lawyer who has a proven track record of success at trial. The Hamilton Firm does.
