(314) 500-HURTWe got a fantastic settlement for $55,000 for a client in his slip and fall case. Shaun was traveling in
Georgia and staying at a Motel 6. While he was walking down the motel’s outside stairs, they collapsed and injured him.
When his pain continued, Shaun sought medical assistance and filed a claim. Shaun first hired a lawyer in Illinois who
had the case for over a year, but only got Shaun a $15,000 offer of settlement from the defendants.
Shaun fired the Illinois lawyer and hired us. We were able to boost that offer up to $35,000, but we still did not feel
that amount of money was sufficient to compensate Shaun for what he went through.
We teamed up with a lawyer in Georgia, and filed a formal lawsuit. After filing the lawsuit, we then began discovery and
during the process, the defendants agreed to pay our client $55,000 to settle the case.
Hiring the right lawyer clearly made a difference to Shaun’s compensation.
I am proud to tell readers that because we hired a Georgia lawyer and shared the attorneys’ fees, under Missouri Supreme
Court ethics Rule
4-1.5(e), we made less money than if we would have settled Shaun’s case for the initial $35,000.
We put our client’s interest first, as all lawyers should do. I always say that we fight hard to get the maximum
recovery for our clients and nothing less. Shaun is a great client who deserved the full recovery that we obtained.
