More About our Boynton Beach Wrongful Death Lawyers
Not Your Average Injury Law Firm
At Senior Justice Law Firm, we are different from other South Florida firms. Our Boynton Beach personal injury lawyers do not advertise on bus benches. You will not see us on daytime TV commercials promising you $10,000 in PIP benefits. We limit our practice to cases involving wrongful death and catastrophic injury. This focus allows us to maximize our client’s settlements and verdicts on wrongful death cases we accept. In fact, the majority of our case load involves wrongful death claims, not mere personal injury claims.
We Are a Law Firm, Not a Law Factory
Many law firms attempt to sign up as many car accident cases as they can. With 30+ staff members and few attorneys, these law firms settle almost all their claims without an attorney touching the case. Typically, these settlements are small. This is an example of a high volume-low value injury law firm. We are not passing judgment on firms that operate this way. However, if you have a valuable Boynton wrongful death case, you want to make sure your case will receive detailed attorney attention. A wrongful death lawsuit requires much more attention to detail than a garden variety personal injury claim.
Low Volume, High Value Cases is our Law Firm Model
Instead, we limit our caseload to high value cases involving wrongful death allegations. From your initial in-person consultation, you will meet with a lawyer, not a case manager. Throughout the life of your Boynton Beach wrongful death lawsuit, your case will be handled by a lawyer, not a paralegal. When you have questions on your case, your bills, your damages, etc., you will get answers from an experienced attorney, not a legal assistant.
One should not expect this kind of one-on-one attorney attention with a small car crash claim. However, you have sought out serious wrongful death attorneys. We believe your case deserves nothing less. Set up an in-person meeting in our Boynton Beach office and see why we are different.
