When It's Time To Get Serious At Rickerson & Kruger, we specialize in serious, catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death litigation. While some law firms handle personal injury claims on an occasional basis, we are experienced in this area and work on behalf of injured individuals and their families. Our firm strives to manage personal injury litigation in a professional, dignified and compassionate manner, recognizing the misfortunes that bring our clients to our firm and the delicacy required in the handling of their claims. Our attorneys have handled thousands of personal injury cases. It is what we do and we do it well. We know that dealing with insurance companies and their vast resources is intimidating, and that you look to your lawyer for guidance as you encounter obstacles while you recover from your injuries or adjust to living with a long-term disability. The reason we know this is because insurance companies have hired our law firm to represent their interest in personal injury and wrongful death cases. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think because we have been those lawyers. Insurance companies want to limit their exposure or liability when a serious injury or death occurs. Insurance companies hire attorneys to aggressively undermine each aspect of the plaintiff's claim. Given the flexibility we have developed from prosecuting and defending such lawsuits, our attorneys have a wealth of experience handling multimillion-dollar actions and a keen understanding of the factors that motivate insurers and defendants confronting sizeable damage claims toward the favorable resolution of those actions. As trial attorneys, we are acutely aware of the risks and costs associated
with protracted litigation and constantly seek creative ways for the early
disposal of cases. Like most law firms, the majority of our cases are
resolved by way of settlement agreements. That being said, there is a
difference between a firm that settles cases because it is afraid to go to
trial and one that settles cases because resolution is in the best interests
of the client. Although most cases settle prior to trial, significant
recoveries are only achieved after exhaustive investigation, exacting
preparation and good old-fashioned hard work. As insurance defense
attorneys, we knew which plaintiff attorneys were afraid or unwilling to take
cases to trial. Insurance companies often base their value of a case on the
reputation of the plaintiff's lawyer, and we had no incentive to negotiate or
present these attorneys with a reasonable offer to resolve a case. Based on
our decades of practice, insurance companies and defense attorneys throughout
At Rickerson & Kruger, we handle our
cases through a team approach. In addition to seasoned attorneys, we also
assign case managers to oversee each individual case. We use our case
managers like doctors use physician's assistants. They are an integral part
of the healing process and help us provide you with quicker responses, better
service and unsurpassed results. Our team of lawyers, case managers and
investigators effectively work to level the playing field with the vast
resources of insurance companies by putting our experience and proven
techniques to work, including early investigation, careful review of medical
records, assisting and directing clients to appropriate, supporting medical
providers, and thoroughly evaluating economic and emotional losses.
Throughout the years, we have helped recover millions of dollars for our
client's injuries and damages. We made a difference for them and we can make
the difference for you.
