Why These Cases Require
Experienced Attorneys

Serious injury cases are different from minor claims — they require:

  • Extensive investigation to determine fault and liability.
  • Medical and financial experts to calculate lifelong care costs.
  • Aggressive negotiation and litigation to stand up to insurance companies.
“In every catastrophic injury case, we take the time to understand not just the medical facts, but the human story — how the injury affects a client’s life, family, and future.”
Jonathan B. Slater
Jonathan Slater Attorney, Burnett & Williams
