Joseph Morris | Fairhope Personal Injury Lawyer

Mr. Morris represented a lady that was attacked in her hotel room by a employee of a national chain hotel. A settlement was reached after lengthy litigation that lead to a sizeable settlement for the client and resulted in the hotel changing its employee policies. Mr. Morris represented a passenger in a Florida case who was paralyzed from the chest down after the vehicle he was in was pulled into the path of a truck. A suit was filed against the truck driver who denied fault blaming the accident on the driver of the passenger's vehicle. During litigation Mr. Morris was able to show that the truck had been traveling too fast for the conditions and, in fact, was using his smart phone to determine his speed due to his speedometer being out of working order. If the truck driver had been driving the posted speed limit he could have avoided impact. The trucking company settled for a significant amount prior to trial.

Building a successful law practice took a lot of hard work and time of achieving success for your clients. It was also important to remember to treat every case the same and give forth the same amount of effort on each one, small or large. As a result, past client's would come back to us or refer family and friends to us. In addition, other attorneys would also refer cases to us because of our success and they knew we had the financial ability to prosecute every case regardless of its expense.

It is important to find an attorney who is experienced in the area for which you need help. In addition, you want an attorney that is not afraid to try your case if it needs to go to trial. Finally, you need an attorney that can afford to fund everything that needs to be done in your case. We never ask our client for any money to fund their case when we take it. In many cases the expenses of a complicated case will run into the six figures and you need an attorney who can afford to spend the money on your case so that your case is successful.

We can, in most cases, fairly quickly determine from the facts we are given on the phone if there is a valid case worth pursuing for the client. However, there are times when we will need to do more investigation before we can evaluate the case and let the client know our opinion of whether it is worth pursing. The phone call is just the first step but an important one.

As many facts as we can get of the accident and injury. Many times though the client will not have all the facts available at the time, which is ok. We can still get some of the basics from the client and gather the facts we need to evaluate the case.
