Why Do Jury Verdicts Matter?

Verdicts & settlements show that the skilled attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington, PLLC prepare each case for trial from the outset.  Insurance companies keep close track of personal injury lawyers across the nation.  They know which attorneys and law firms have the skill, experience and willingness to go to trial.

Insurance companies know a jury is much more likely to give you a fair and just award.  Trials cost the insurance company a lot of money.  The primary goal of any insurance company is profit.  The long track record of successful outcomes at trial for HLH clients provides incentive for your insurance company to settle earlier and for a much higher amount than they would offer you.  The fact is not all injury lawyers are equal.  Many are unwilling to take a case to trial, and insurance companies know these lawyers have not sought a jury verdict in the past and are unlikely to do so in your case.  This results in a lower offer.

Every accident and injury case is different.  We have provided the information on this page to demonstrate the firm’s skill, experience and expertise over almost 100 years of service to the Louisville, Kentucky area.  The verdicts & settlements show that our firm has stood up to the insurance companies and their legal teams to ensure our clients receive full, fair compensation for the injuries or loss they’ve been forced to endure.

Our verdicts & settlements also demonstrate our ability and willingness to take your case to trial in order to ensure the maximum fair outcome when insurance companies are not treating you fairly.
