You can learn more about our unique approach to personal injury case management on our About page.​

Traffic Accident Attorneys from Sally Morin Law
At Sally Morin Law, our team works on behalf of traffic accident clients who have been injured due to another party's negligence.

Law firms that specialize in personal injury primary responsibility is to work in the client's best interests to recover damages for injuries sustained due to the negligence of another party.

What do I need to do to prove damages in my personal injury case?
1. First, you must prove that the other party was liable for your injuries. In addition to your police report, this may include witness testimonials or evidence collected on the scene.
2. You must prove how the harm was caused -- and that it's not a pre-existing condition.
3. And last but not least , you will need to prove the extent of your damages, whether physical injury, lost work, wages, and quality of life.
While some cases go to trial, most do not. In fact, at Sally Morin Law we have only had about 1% of our cases ever need to go to trial.
Remember, there is no guarantee that taking a case to trial will result in a larger reward. And since cases that go to trial are on a higher fee scale, it often means the attorney takes home more and clients take home less.
How is an accident lawyer compensated?
Typically, fees are 33.3% of the reward for cases that are settled, and 40% of those that go to trial. (Remember, this very rare.)
At Sally Morin Law, we put our client's recovery first. That's why we don't take a fee percentage from the portion of your settlement that covers the damage to your property. We also ensure that you never walk away owing us any money.
Why should I work with the traffic injury lawyers at Sally Morin Law?
