Verdicts & Settlements

While an accident can come out of nowhere and change your life large settlements do not.  While this law firm has produced some record breaking results for lawyers in this area (i.e. where your case may be tried if you live in the Southern Tier area) every case is different.

Mr. Welch will be your attorney should you select our firm.  Each of the following cases were directly handled by Mr. Welch as counsel for the plaintiff.

Traumatic Brain Injury   $5,380,000 Settlement  
Industrial Accident   $1,200,000 Settlement  
Motorcycle Accident $1,000,000 Settlement
Automobile Accident $1,000,000 Settlement

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

As can be seen above many cases are settled before verdicts are actually rendered.  Many clients prefer the certainty of settlement.  Also bear in mind that the only reason the cases settled so favorably was because the case was throughouly prepared and usually with the right experts, witnesses and fact development that drove the insurance company into giving up the money the client deserved.  If those "bullets" were not "in the gun" based on hard work, experience and reputation the result would not have been acheived.

The public is advised that our firm offers its services on a contingency fee basis. If we do not recover any sums on your behalf, you owe us nothing for our time. We also provide an in-depth initial consultation at no cost to you.

These verdicts are from areas all over the Finger Lake Region including Elmira, Corning, Penn Yan, Ithaca, Bath, Hornell, and Watkins Glen.

About Us About Us

Our office does not operate as a personal injury "mill."  While we will advise you as to whether a settlement offer is appropriate, we prepare our cases as though they each will go to trial.  We do this as it optimizes what you will receive as a recovery in your case.
