ACCIDENT/INJURY INSURANCE LIABILITY |
 |
|
The personal injury attorney suffers more scorn from the public than any other kind of lawyer does. They are called ambulance chasers, scriptwriters and worse. It is easy to be cynical about the whole system. Just look at the outrageous television commercials run by some personal injury attorneys. Look at some of the crazy results juries come up with. |
 |
But it is only easy to be cynical until the day you or someone close to you has a bad accident and needs a good attorney to get adequate compensation for medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering. If you have a serious injury it only makes sense to hire a serious attorney. You will not find Stephen Merrill riding spaceships in a television studio or shouting CASH, CASH, CASH through the television set. You will find him trying cases in court making the insurance companies pay by showing a jury why his client deserves a verdict. |

If you believe there may be another personal injury attorney in Alaska who could get better results for you, ask them a simple question. Can you match this list of jury verdicts in the courts? |
