Meet Bryan Meader | Associate Attorney at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers

My name is Bryan Meader. I’m an associate attorney here at Cooper Hurley Injury Lawyers.

I got my start in law actually in undergrad where I obtained an internship to work for one of the major insurance companies. When I graduated from George Mason and got my undergraduate degree, I continued to work for the insurance companies which inspired me to go to law school. I’d always had an interest in law, so after I got some experience in the insurance industry, that’s kind of what—you know, everything lined up in my mind as to how I could apply a law and public policy to help people that are victims of other people’s negligence and that need help.

I had a client that was involved in a wreck and he was driving his van, but he and his two children lived in his van. It was a really uphill battle resolving the liability in that case, but I fought really hard for him and I was able to get him his property paid for and I was able to get him a settlement for his injuries from the car wreck, which helped his family out, you know, kind of get back to where they wanted to be.

So, I think it’s really important for attorneys to remember that while we have a lot of cases, all of our clients just have one case. I’m not the one scheduling physical therapy twice a week and missing things with my family or the one experiencing anxiety or fear while I’m driving or just trying to move around throughout my day with, you know, significant injuries. Each one of our clients is going through a different situation, so we do what we can so they can focus on getting better. And you know, if I have a lot of cases where people are going through that, it’s important for me to remember that that’s their experience with the situation.
