Specialties within the field
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, and a lawyer who can win at trial has more weight in settlement talks.
