We are experienced trial attorneys. We understand that your leverage against an insurance company is your right to take your case to a jury. Your attorney must have the ability to exercise that leverage in order to get the insurance companies to take your claim seriously.
1. Leverage. When you hire Spillane & Mrowka, you carry a big stick. That is, the threat of us taking the insurance company's insured to trial and winning is the important leverage to have when trying to settle your case for fair comensation. We have had to put hundreds of cases into suit in order to gain fair recoveries for our clients. Unfortunaltly, if your attorney does not have an ongoing proven track record of taking cases to jury trial and winning, then what you have hired to represent your interests, and the interests of your family, is merely a personal injury case broker with a law degree. That kind of attorney has no real leverage to get your case resolved on for favorable compensation. And you can bet the insurance companies know who is a threat, and who is not. Most people hope their case will settle long before trial. That's normal, and most cases do settle out of court. However, if you want to maximize the chance of a great settlement, you should hire Spillane & Mrowka - proven trial law firm - to send the insurance company a message that you will be prepared to go to court if necessary. That's leverage.
