Specialties that pay more

• Catastrophic injury

  Brain and spinal cord cases. The largest settlements and the longest fights.

• Medical malpractice

  Suing doctors and hospitals. Slow, expensive, and defended by a well-funded national body, so few firms do it.

• Long-term disability claims

  Suing insurers who cut off disability benefits. Quicker than crash cases.

• Trial skill

  Most cases settle, so the rare lawyer who wins at trial gets the best settlements too.
