Case Studies

We Accept Cases That Other Firms Do Not.

We fight liability and legal disputes and accept gaps in treatment; we don’t turn down the case merely because we know that an insurance company will fight the case. We litigate (see FAQ) almost all cases. We have won many cases that several other attorneys turned down.

(Many firms attempt to settle the case for less than their actual value so they do not have to litigate. We take the time to research and investigate the reasons for disputes or delays in treatment. Many clients are unsure how to obtain proper medical care or cannot afford the care they need; we guide them through this process.)

$1,000,000.00 Wrongful Death.

A homeowner asked our client to trim a palm tree taller than 15 feet. When chainsaw cut his strap, he fell and died. Four other competent attorneys declined to take the case, citing no liability on the part of the homeowner. WLC took the case, defeated a motion for summary judgment (FAQ), and settled the case on the eve of trial. It was a lifesaving moment for the family left behind.

Customer Assaulted at Business. (Highly confidential settlement)

A store manager pushed our client. Before coming to us, the client met with several other attorneys who stated that the store owner would not be liable for the assault committed by their employee. We defeated the defendant’s motion for summary judgment and settled the case shortly after that for $500,000 (during the COVID-19 pandemic.)

$290,000.00 Mold Case.

A local law firm had been handling this case for almost three years. After filing the lawsuit, they associated our firm with the chance to take the case to trial. When our firm was brought in, the offer on the table was $7,500. We defeated the motion for summary judgment. Three months later, we settled for $290,000.

Mold cases are unique because, in general, when a person leaves the source of the mold exposure, symptoms disappear. In this case, our client was exposed for extended periods, and their symptoms lasted much longer.
Of course, the defendants fought liability throughout the entire process.

FAQ Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “litigate” mean in personal injury cases?
To litigate means to take a case through the formal court process, including filing a lawsuit, exchanging evidence, attending hearings, and going to trial if necessary.
A Motion for Summary Judgment asks the judge to end the case before trial, claiming there are no disputed facts and the other side cannot win under the law. If the motion is denied, the case moves forward.
Many firms avoid litigation because it takes more time, resources, and risk than settling quickly. They often prefer to negotiate a lower settlement rather than prepare for court.
What does it mean when a law firm “associates” another firm on a case?
When a firm “associates” another firm, they bring in another law office to help handle part or all of the case, often because the case requires special skills or trial experience.
Mold cases are hard to prove because symptoms often improve when a person leaves the contaminated area, making it challenging to link the illness to the property over time.
Insurance companies fight liability because admitting fault means they must pay compensation, sometimes large sums. They try to avoid paying by arguing there is no legal responsibility.
Even if other lawyers turned down a case, another firm with experience and resources may still see a valid claim. Complex cases often need more research and preparation to succeed.
