Welcome
Many personal injury attorneys claim to be trial attorneys, that is, attorneys who willingly take cases to trial when insurance companies make low offers to settle cases. If these insurance companies know that your law firm has taken many injury cases to trial & received very significant & substantial verdicts, they are much more inclined pay the value of the injured or deceased client's claims. The Hoyt & Blewett law firm has proven time and again that we are more than willing to take injury & wrongful death cases to trial, with the results being very favorable for our clients.
Suffice it to say that these verdicts of the injury cases we have represented, fully support our expertise in a vast number of areas of litigation, including medical negligence cases, malpractice, railroad FELA cases, railroad crossing cases, insurance bad faith cases, safe place to work cases, insurance cases, nuisance cases, and environmental damage cases.
