Types of Cases We Handle

How We Prove Liability

Personal injury law provides multiple theories through which we establish a defendant’s legal responsibility for your injuries. The applicable theories depend on the facts and circumstances of your case:

  • Negligence: The foundation of most personal injury cases. We establish that the defendant owed you a duty of care, breached that duty through negligent conduct, and that breach directly caused your injury. Negligence applies to driver negligence, medical malpractice, facility negligence, and countless other scenarios.
  • Vicarious Liability: The legal responsibility of an employer, principal, or organization for the negligent acts of employees or agents acting within the scope of employment or agency. A company is liable for the negligent acts of its drivers, managers, or representatives.
  • Premises Liability: Property owners and managers have a duty to maintain safe premises and to warn of dangerous conditions. A breach of that duty—such as failure to repair, failure to secure, or failure to warn—establishes liability for injuries that result.
  • Products Liability: Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers have strict liability for defective products. A product is defective if it is unreasonably dangerous due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn of known risks. You need not prove negligence; strict liability applies.
  • Negligent Entrustment: The liability of an owner or manager who knowingly places a dangerous person or instrument in the hands of another without adequate safeguards. For example, a company that hires a driver with a history of reckless driving is liable if that driver causes a crash.
  • Dram Shop Liability: In jurisdictions where dram shop laws apply, the liability of a bar, restaurant, or alcohol vendor for knowingly serving alcohol to a visibly intoxicated patron who then causes injury to a third party.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases involving egregious or willful conduct, courts may award additional damages designed to punish the defendant and deter similar conduct in the future. Punitive damages are available in cases of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.

Building Your Case

Liability in personal injury litigation is established through evidence. We engage in thorough investigation and retain experts in relevant fields to develop a factual and expert foundation for liability and damages:

  • Scene Investigation and Documentation: Photographs and video of the accident scene, dangerous condition, or product defect. Scene evidence often disappears or changes; prompt preservation is critical.
  • Vehicle Inspection and EDR Data: In motor vehicle cases, vehicle inspections by qualified mechanics reveal maintenance failures, design defects, or improper repairs. Modern vehicles contain event data recorders (EDR or “black box”) that preserve critical data about speed, braking, and other factors at the time of impact.
  • Maintenance and Repair Records: Evidence of prior failures, complaints, or repairs establishes notice of a dangerous condition or defect.
  • Medical Records and Expert Analysis: Your medical records document the nature and severity of your injury. Treating physicians and retained medical experts establish the causal link between the defendant’s conduct and your injury.
  • Prior Complaints and Regulatory Records: Prior complaints to the defendant, reports to regulatory agencies, or prior lawsuits establish that the defendant knew or should have known of the dangerous condition or defect.
  • Expert Testimony: We retain qualified experts in biomechanics, vehicle dynamics, engineering, medical specialty, human factors, and other disciplines to establish causation, standard of care, and damages.

Injuries and Damages We Pursue

Personal injury law recognizes multiple categories of damages available to injured victims:

  • Economic Damages: Past and future medical care, rehabilitation, medications, assistive devices, home modifications, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and other quantifiable economic losses. These damages are calculated based on medical evidence and expert economic analysis.
  • Non-Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and other non-monetary harms. These damages are more subjective but equally important to your recovery.
  • Catastrophic Injury Damages: Serious injuries—traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burns, permanent disability—warrant substantial damages to reflect the permanent impact on your life, earning capacity, and quality of life.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: When a loved one dies due to negligence, surviving family members may recover for funeral and burial expenses, lost economic support, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases involving egregious conduct, additional damages designed to punish and deter.

How the Process Works

1. Free Intake Consultation: We evaluate whether the case is appropriate for our practice and explain the legal theories that may apply.
2. Preservation and Investigation: We take steps to immediately preserve evidence—photographs, documents, electronic data—and begin investigating the facts. We retain experts to analyze the defendant’s conduct and its role in your injury.
3. Claim and Negotiation: We submit a detailed demand to the defendant’s insurer, presenting evidence of liability and damages. We negotiate in an effort to reach a fair settlement. Many cases resolve during this phase.
4. File Suit and Discovery: If negotiation does not yield a fair offer, we file suit and begin discovery—the process through which both sides exchange documents and take depositions. We continue to investigate and retain experts.
5. Trial or Resolution: We prepare the case for trial and continue settlement negotiations. If the case does not settle, we try it before a jury or judge. We maintain the resources and experience to try cases to verdict.

Fee Structure: Trial Lawyers United represents clients on a contingency fee basis only. You pay no fee unless we recover compensation on your behalf. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, as set forth in your engagement agreement. Court costs and expert fees are advanced by the firm and recovered from settlement or judgment proceeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my case big enough?

We focus on serious injury cases. If you have suffered a catastrophic injury—serious trauma, permanent disability, wrongful death—we want to hear from you. Cases involving minor injuries, soft-tissue injury only, or small damages may not be appropriate for our practice. Call for a free consultation.

What if the defendant has minimal insurance?

If the defendant is under-insured or uninsured, we explore all available sources of recovery: your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, other liable parties, products liability claims against manufacturers, and more. We structure claims and litigation to maximize recovery from all available sources. Your case may still have substantial value even with limited defendant insurance.

How long does a case take?

It depends. Simple cases may resolve during settlement negotiations within months. Complex cases involving catastrophic injury, multiple parties, or disputed liability may take one to three years or more from filing to resolution. We do not rush cases to meet a timeline; we take the time necessary to build a strong case and maximize your recovery.

Do I have to go to trial?

No. Most cases settle during negotiation or shortly after suit is filed. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and we are prepared to try cases to verdict. This preparation often results in more favorable settlements—insurance companies know we will try cases if necessary. The decision to try or settle is ultimately yours, and we counsel you on the strengths and risks of each option.

How do fees work?

We work on contingency. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation. The fee is a percentage of the recovery (before costs), as set forth in your engagement agreement. Court costs, expert fees, and investigation expenses are advanced by the firm and recovered from the settlement or judgment. If we don’t recover, you owe no fee. This aligns our interests: we are motivated to maximize your recovery.

In the Relentless Pursuit of Justice | Results Without Risk

Trial Lawyers United LLC handles personal injury and mass tort cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no attorney fees unless and until we obtain a recovery on your behalf. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. Contingency fees are calculated as a percentage of the gross recovery. In most cases, the client is also responsible for litigation costs and expenses, which may include court filing fees, expert witness fees, deposition costs, medical record retrieval, investigation expenses, travel, and other costs necessarily incurred in the prosecution of the case. These costs may be advanced by the firm during the pendency of the case and are typically deducted from the gross recovery in addition to the attorney fee. The specific percentage and the method by which expenses are calculated (whether deducted before or after the contingency fee is computed) will be set forth in the written fee agreement between the client and the firm, which must be signed before representation begins.

"No Fee Unless We Win" Qualifier

When we say "no fee unless we win," we mean that you will not be charged attorney fees if we do not recover compensation on your behalf. Litigation costs and expenses are separate from attorney fees and are addressed in the written fee agreement.
