If Avoiding Trial Is Important to You
The fastest way to settle a case is to prepare for trial. Insurance companies know which firms will go to court and which will not.
Morris & Dewett prepares every case as if it will be tried before a jury. Expert witnesses are retained. Evidence is preserved. Trial strategy is built from day one. When the other side sees that level of preparation, it changes the calculation.
A track record of substantial jury verdicts changes how opposing counsel approaches negotiation. When defense attorneys know your firm has won at trial, they are more inclined to offer fair settlements. Reputation is earned in the courtroom.
Insurance companies and their defense attorneys track which plaintiff firms actually take cases to trial and which do not. Firms that consistently settle without trial preparation receive lower offers. Firms that prepare and try cases command stronger results.
If You Are Forced to Trial:
-
Expert Witnesses
We retain nationally recognized medical experts, accident reconstructionists, economists, and vocational specialists. These professionals analyze your injuries, calculate lifetime damages, and present testimony that holds up under cross-examination. The right expert can be the difference between a modest settlement and a verdict that fully compensates your losses.
-
Trial Experience
Our attorneys have tried cases in courtrooms across Louisiana and Texas, securing some of the largest verdicts in state history. We know how to pick juries, cross-examine defense experts, and present complex evidence in ways jurors understand. Insurance companies know our trial record, and that knowledge drives better settlement offers for our clients.
-
Jury Research
We are members of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and use that network to understand what resonates with jurors in your jurisdiction. We study jury verdict trends, analyze local attitudes toward injury claims, and build case presentations that speak directly to the people who will decide your case.
-
Focus Groups
Before stepping into a courtroom, we test our case strategy with mock juries and focus groups. We identify weaknesses the defense will exploit, refine our arguments, and measure how real people respond to the evidence. This process has directly contributed to multi-million dollar results for our clients.
