In this video, Virginia and North Carolina injury and wrongful death lawyer Joe Miller of Joe Miller Law, Ltd explains some of the potential advantages of the pursuit of a wrongful death claim by hiring a competent wrongful death lawyer as quickly as possible, even during the darkest and most painful hours which occur after the death of a loved one.

Norfolk, Virginia and North Carolina Injury Lawyer Joe Miller of Joe Miller Law, Ltd. explains the concept of the contingency fee and the fact that you do not have to bring money to hire him and his law firm as your injury attorneys. This is the mostly the same for all injury lawyers, but the difference with Joe Miller is you get Strong Justice (sm). Watch the video to see what this is all about.

Here, Norfolk, VA and North Carolina Injury Lawyer Joe Miller of Joe Miller Law , Ltd. discusses some of the factors that go into determining the value of an injury case. It is a fact that some people do get confused about settlement of an injury case, what settlement of the claim is for, and what its value is based upon. I have heard some people say that they wanted a certain amount of money because they wanted to build an addition to their home, and the settlement offer had to be enough to pay for the addition. I've heard other people say that they have their eyes on a new truck, and the offer needed to be enough to pay for that truck. I have heard others say that they owe certain people money in the settlement needed to provide sufficient funds to pay everyone off.
If you are considering a settlement on a personal injury claim, the first thing that you must do is remove any and all of these types of extraneous considerations from your mind. None of these types of personal considerations have anything to do the actual value of your claim. If you do not rid yourself of these types of considerations, what will happen is that you will make a decision in relation to settlement that has nothing to do with the value of your claim. You may force your lawyer to accept a sum that is far below the value of your claim, or you may insist on proceeding to trial against the explicit advice of your lawyer, resulting in a defense verdict, or a sum far below what could have been obtained in settlement.
The actual factors that determine the value of a case, particularly one with very serious injuries, are many and varied. No one item determines the entire value of the claim. For instance, someone with a less serious injury than you may have received a tremendous sum in settlement. But if his or her case was pending in a location notorious for huge verdicts, and your case is pending in a very conservative location, it is not fair to compare the value of the other claim to yours. Likewise, there may be aggravating factors, not present in your claim, such as drunk driving on the part of the defendant, which may have pushed the value on your friend's claim higher than normal.
Finally, the likelihood of success is a tremendous factor to consider. How much of a chance is there that you could get $0? Does the defendant contest liability of your case by claiming that you were guilty of contributory negligence? In other words, what are the chances that you could simply lose your case and get nothing? This should affect the way you think about the amount you might want to settle for.

Norfolk, VA and North Carolina Injury Attorney Joe Miller of Joe Miller Law discusses the defining aspect of his law practice: STRONG JUSTICE. It means he does not take every case that comes in the door, so he has more time for his clients; It means that each client can expect that a phone conference will be scheduled with Mr. Miller if he or she needs to speak with him. Because you have the right to talk to your lawyer! That is what Strong Justice is all about.
Strong Justice is the way we practice law at Joe Miller Law, Ltd. It really means three essential things, what we call the three pillars of Strong Justice.
First: Careful Case Selection. We do not take every case that calls into our office.
Many of the larger law firms you may see on TV operate a high volume practice. That means those firms are typically taking in a caseload in excess of 1000 cases per year.
It also means they are often not screening each case to determine whether it meets their criteria for a successful resolution.It means further that regardless of the severity of your injuries, your case is one of thousands handled by that firm.
That means there is an increased likelihood that your case may not have been screened properly. It further means that it is difficult to know whether or not a proper determination was made to match your case with the right kind of attorney and legal team. And if your case was not screened properly, and it was lumped in with the "low rated" cases.
The reason we are careful about screening cases is because we are only interested in assisting seriously injured victims. We know that we have the experience, wisdom, track record, and legal power to bring the cases of seriously injured people, or the cases of wrongful death victims and their families, to a successful resolution.
But we also know that our success in those very serious cases is much less likely if our office is distracted by the clamoring voices and needs of thousands of other clients whose cases we really did not want to take in the first place.
Second: Personal attention to our exclusive family of clients.
If we decide to take your case, you become family.
Because really, if your case is one of thousands, you become part of a factory. There is absolutely no way you can really get to know your lawyer, much less have a meaningful conversation with your attorney about your case in that situation.
But when we decide to accept your case, you become part of an exclusive club.
You become part of our family.
We want to make sure that we have the time to get to know you and all of those who are close to you, so they can each add their own special perspective as to how the car crash has affected your life. We want to make sure we have the time to become intimately familiar all the different ways that your injuries have affected you.
Why do we take these steps? Because if we do not understand the impact that an injury or death as upon your life or the life of your family, how can we convey that impact to the insurance company or the jury?
Third: The Right to Speak with your Attorney.
When you become family, that means you are entitled to special treatment, including the right to talk to your lawyer.
We hear over and over again that the number one complaint against attorneys, especially injury attorneys, is that once the lawyers take the case, the clients can never get them on the phone.
Once again, this is a syndrome of the "factory" approach to practicing injury law. In order to function on a daily basis, either the attorney must shun each and every call from all of his or her thousands of clients, and hand the matter off to a paralegal, or, as is often the case, the attorney will receive a message from the client, which message remains sitting on their desk, not returned, for months.
We believe that the notion that a client cannot ever reach the attorney they trusted and retained to handle their case is inexcusable.
That is why one of the main components of Strong Justice is our promise that we will try our very best to ensure that if you need to speak to your lawyer, we will set up a telephone conference with your attorney for you at a certain time on a certain date, so that you know that you are going to be able to speak to your lawyer.
We believe that never getting to speak to your lawyer is wrong, and that is why we schedule phone conferences when a client requests time to speak with their lawyer.
So once again, what does Strong Justice mean?
Careful Case Selection
Personal attention to our exclusive family of clients
The right to speak with your attorney
These are the three pillars of what we call Strong Justice.
