Horrific Injuries Get Big Awards

If you read about this woman’s tragic case you’ll know that she suffered horrific injuries: a broken spine and several ribs with permanent partial paralysis and a brain injury just to mention the highlights.

No body wants this sort of case.  Yes, there’s a massive $15 million dollar verdict, but would you trade places with this woman to get $15 million?  I doubt it.

There’s a great saying in this business.  “It’s better to have your health than a good case.”  That couldn’t possibly be truer.  In order for your case to have massive value, you must suffer massive injuries.  Period.  There’s no two ways about it.  You can’t get a hang nail and get $1 million.  You show me a horrific injury that no amount of money can cure, and maybe I can show you a $1 million award or settlement.  Maybe.

Trust me.  You don’t want a high value case.  If you have one, I’m sorry.  I truly am.  I wouldn’t wish this sort of injury on anyone.  But if you do have a catastrophic injury, especially from an auto accident or trucking accident in NC,  then you almost certainly need an attorney, so please call now.
