John Demas, at Demas Law Group, P.C., explains how sometimes the end result of a personal injury case can be a lot more than just that.\u201cMonetary gain is important, of course, but a lot of what we do for our clients has a deeper and more personal effect on their whole lives\u201d.With over 20 years of experience and more than 1,000 cases resolved, John has seen a vast array of cases. However, certain aspects of a case can make one more memorable than another. A recent case that stands out in John\u2019s mind is one another attorney brought him in on to help take to trial.\u201cThis case stands out to me for a couple different reasons,\u201d John said. \u201cFor one, our client was being offered a fraction of what he deserved for his accident. Furthermore, this was a genuinely good guy, but for whatever reason his case was sent to the Special Investigation Unit on suspicion of fraud.\u201d The insurance company stonewalled the plaintiff, forcing him to go to trial because they didn\u2019t believe he had actually sustained any significant injuries in his accident.\u201cThe insurance company forced us to go to trial to try to obtain a fair recovery for our client\u2019s injuries. It was clear to us from the beginning that our client was an honest, hard working guy and wasn\u2019t trying to pull one on the insurance company. However, the trial turned into a case not just about the accident in question, but about the man\u2019s character and integrity\u201d.\u201cOur client also had a worker\u2019s compensation case,\u201d John said. \u201cBut it got to a point where he needed to go back to work, so he told his doctor he was ready to end treatment, even though he wasn\u2019t.\u201dSubsequently, the man later went back for more treatment, raising red flags for the insurance company who sent the claim to the fraud unit.The client represented by John had been offered $10,000 by the insurance company. The end result was a jury verdict of over $200,000.\u201cWhen the verdict came back at a quarter of a million dollars, our client burst into tears. He looked at me and said, \u2018they believed me\u2019. For him, the fact that his integrity was restored and validated was more important than the monetary result.\u201dThis case had a similar effect on John. \u201cI saw this case as a vindication. We were able to stand up to a big insurance company and not just get a good result, but prove to 12 jurors that our client was truthful and deserving of a better recovery. Even though that wasn\u2019t anywhere near my biggest case, it was almost more satisfying to see the effect it had on my client\u201d."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.injury-attorneys.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"A Demas Law Group Case Study: Standing Up for Our Client\u2019s Integrity","item":"https:\/\/www.injury-attorneys.com\/blog\/demas-law-group-case-study-standing-clients-integrity\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
