Before you hire an attorney, make certain you know their jury trial history and their results! Many attorneys who call themselves “trial attorneys” have not taken a case to trial in years or have only had several jury trials. Insurance companies know which attorneys will back down at the last minute and which attorneys will fight for their clients. This fact alone significantly affects the value of your case! Ask the attorney (1) when was the last time they personally had a jury trial; (2) how many jury trials they have tried; and (3) what is their own personal largest jury verdict?
