Why Choose Us

Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers Pay Referral Fees and Carries All Litigation Costs for Attorney Referrals

Here is what we can offer you (and our future clients), making our referral relationships second to none:

Generous referral fees:

We appreciate your referrals, and our fee sharing reflects it.

 No litigation costs:

We carry all litigation costs, and ask for no contribution from our referral partners. Recently, we advanced costs of over $100,000, over $120,000, and over $330,000 on injury and wrongful death cases. It’s necessary, and you and our mutual client will benefit from our ability to pay these expenses.

Maximized value:

Million dollar cases don’t just walk into your office – only cases with million dollar potential. Insurance carriers will not put top value on a case until a firm demonstrates that it will go to trial. Financial resources to do a proper investigation, turn facts and data into admissible and understandable evidence, and retaining the necessary expert witnesses are all vital to be trial-ready. Recently, we advanced over $100,000 in litigation costs on a single trucking case. The carrier noticed, and the offer reflected it. ­In another recent case, the insurance carrier dug its heels in with a lowball offer. We took the case to trial and the verdict was over 15x the offer.

Speedy conclusion:

Delay is the enemy of our wronged clients. There is no reason to wait. We’ve found the best approach for catastrophic injury cases is to file suit immediately, get a trial date as quickly as possible, and press the case as hard as we can. We once concluded a case of contested liability for $5,000,000 within 15 months of the injury.

Customer service:

High-end cases require top-level effort and attention. You will only get positive feedback from clients you refer to us. We are grateful for your referrals, and remain dedicated to you and our clients.

Track record:

We are experienced and skilled, and our case results prove it, but don’t just take our word for it. Watch the video above about Virginia immigration attorney Radlyn Mendoza’s experience after referring a case to Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers. The case resulted in a substantial recovery for our catastrophically injured client.

While we cannot guarantee results, we promise dedication and hard work. We value your referrals and it means a lot to us that you trust us with your serious injury and wrongful death cases. You and our clients will not be disappointed. We look forward to working with you.
