Building a Case Around Lasting Harm

A diagnosis alone doesn’t establish the full effect of a serious injury. Medical records and other evidence must show its severity, functional consequences, and the care or assistance the injured person may need. Insurers may examine treatment, impairment, work restrictions, and anticipated care when deciding whether to dispute or resolve a case.

Co-founder Robert Irving Miller brings direct clinical and hospital experience to this work. Before practicing law, he worked as a registered nurse in intensive care units and emergency rooms, then served as a hospital risk manager and Chief Operating Officer. That background informs how we review medical documentation and present the full extent of a client’s injuries.

We manage communications and negotiations with insurance carriers while preparing each case for litigation. Our trial-tested attorneys have represented individuals and families for more than 25 years, and our firm reports over $10 million recovered. Past recoveries don’t determine a new case’s value or outcome, but they reflect our experience with consequential disputes.

How We Prepare Catastrophic Injury Cases

We begin by evaluating the accident, injuries, available evidence, and potentially responsible parties. Virtual case evaluations are available when recovery or limited mobility makes travel difficult. If we accept the case, we investigate how the accident occurred and preserve evidence relevant to fault.

We then document the relationship between the injury, treatment, functional limitations, and future needs. Our attorneys communicate with insurers and negotiate based on the evidence. When liability or compensation remains disputed, we’re prepared to present the case in state or federal court.

Discuss Your Injuries with Our Firm

We handle serious injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so you won’t owe attorney fees unless we secure compensation for you. We also offer virtual evaluations, and our bilingual staff can assist Spanish-speaking clients.
