Ask a guy who made $175k last week anything.

[lincolnmkv]

Trial lawyer, wrongful death case involving a trucker that left his truck parked in the middle of the highway where my guy crashed into the back of it and died. Defendants offered $200k. Took them to trial, got a $1.21mm jury verdict minus 40% off because it was partially my client's own damn fault, so total verdict of $726k.

If I had accepted the $200k offer, the attorney's fee would have been $67,666.00
On the verdict of $726k, the attorney's fee is $242,000

Was in the office from 7am-9pm for a week straight and lost 8 pounds over the course of the week (stress), but the feeling of winning makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Edit: srs, no april fools.

[Scrizzle]

why'd the trucker leave his truck parked in the middle of the highway? was it broken or out of gas? sounds pretty dumb to be honest. how the fukc do you hit a stationary vehicle? should've been able to see it from really far away and adjusted. was it snowy or foggy out?

[blackbull2k13]

To everyone in this thread just keep in mind most lawyers make chit money now and are buried in 6 figure student loan debt. I am not saying OP is lying, I am just saying his situation is a rarity

[mechan9]

3 other partners? Is your law firm das it mayne?


Congrats, don't spend it all in one place and save some for Uncle Sam.

[DasPhilosopher]

This. Unless you are some very established lawyer the market for jobs are terrible and I heard most new grads are in tons of debt with terrible paying jobs (if a job at all) and very overworked.

Nighttime on the tollway... trucker gets sideswiped by another car.... minor property damage crash. Dumbass doesn't pull his vehicle off the roadway. Doesn't set out warning triangles. Instead, gets out of his cab, and walks across the highway and tells the other driver to call the cops. Trucker didn't call the cops himself because he couldn't speak english. He stays out of his truck for 10-15 minutes and then gets back into his truck and sits there for 10 minutes. I argued he was trying to fix up his logbooks, which were demonstrably false. So after 20-25 minutes, my guy comes along, tries to swerve at the last minute, and plows right into the truck.

I had a professor come in who wrote the book on highway safety and testify that the truck would be very hard to perceive as being stopped. All the state police agreed that the truck was a definite hazard.

That family got $500k, compared to a $200k offering.

And you know what happens if you get a bad lawyer and lose the case? You get nothing.

that lawyer fee is nothing compared to what they gained out of it.

[SF49ers]

OP is an injury attorney AKA the lowest of low when it comes to pieces of sht.

Not hating on lawyers, just injury attorneys. It's a huge racquet and a system manipulated by slime.

Others will fear his reps and celebrate him or are too young to know how f'd up those guys are.

Worked my ass off for them, and it's not like they had the resources to pay for a lawyer upfront. He left behind a 17 year old daughter (now 23) who will at least be able to have a comfortable life, even though money is never going to bring back her dad.

The insurance company wanted to give them nothing. $200k was their highest offer. She is VERY happy and has no problem with my fee.

OP, I had a lady ram her grocery cart into me at the sto the other day.
