As a personal injury attorney, you learn quickly that assumptions are dangerous. This lesson was reinforced in one of the most emotionally challenging cases of my career.
Two broken-hearted parents came to me after losing their child. The defense assumed the case was straightforward and that a minimal settlement would make the family go away. They assumed wrong.
From the beginning, I refused to take anything at face value. I investigated every detail, challenged every assumption the defense made, and uncovered evidence that completely changed the trajectory of the case.
The insurance company had assumed that the parents' grief would make them easy targets — that they would accept a lowball offer rather than endure a lengthy legal battle. Instead, they found a family emboldened by justice and an attorney who refused to back down.
Through meticulous preparation and diligent advocacy, we were able to secure a result that reflected the true value of the family's loss. The defense's assumptions cost them dearly.
"Never assume anything" has become my guiding principle — both in law and in life. Every client who walks through my door deserves a fresh set of eyes, an open mind, and the full weight of our legal resources behind them.
