Jury Trial Experience Matters

Most personal injury cases settle; but the threat of trial is what moves insurance companies to pay fair value. Many PI firms never step inside a courtroom. At The Law Offices of Kirk Tarman & Associates, we have over 25 years of jury trial experience, meaning:

• We know how juries evaluate personal injury claims.
• We've cross-examined expert witnesses and exposed weak defenses.
• Insurers know we won't back down, making them more likely to settle fairly.

When insurance adjusters recognize that your attorney has a proven trial record, they approach settlement negotiations differently. They know we won't accept lowball offers, and they know we're fully prepared to present your case to a jury if necessary. This courtroom credibility translates into better outcomes for our clients.

Example Case Results

While every case is unique and past results do not predict future outcomes, here are examples of the types of recoveries we've achieved for injured clients:

• Highway Rear-End Collision: Six-figure settlement for spinal injuries and lost wages.
• Truck Accident Wrongful Death: Seven-figure settlement after proving driver fatigue.
• Medical Lien Reduction: Reduced hospital lien by 70%, securing the majority of the client's settlement.

These case results reflect our commitment to thorough investigation, aggressive negotiation, and strategic litigation when settlement negotiations fall short. We fight to maximize your recovery at every stage of your case.
