While no one relishes the idea of choosing a personal injury attorney, selecting one who is willing to go to trial rather than settling and whose reputation for doing so is established can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Jason Murphy is genuinely intent on taking his client’s case to court and that is what makes him uniquely qualified as a personal injury attorney.

Having grown up in Queens, New York, Jason became interested in the Law, primarily because of the opportunity to work in and the set of skills required to be effective in the courtroom. Over the years, he has developed a set of core values or philosophy that guides his work. This includes experience, education, accountability, and respect.

First and foremost, the experience of a personal injury attorney who is willing to and preparing from the outset to go to trial translates into a reputation that doesn’t go unnoticed. Insurance companies, typically a major party to these types of cases, maintain information about the attorney they may face and know what the likelihood of a trial is. Since an insurance company is primarily concerned with cost and they work to minimize cost, avoiding a lengthy process coupled with the expense of a trial is their first objective.

Another critical aspect is the attorney's role in educating their clients about their rights throughout the legal process. Attorneys who are willing to go to trial often take the time to explain the legal aspects of the case, the potential outcomes of trial versus settlement, and the client's rights in pursuing compensation. This education empowers clients to make informed decisions about their case and ensures that they have a clear understanding of the legal process ahead. To illustrate another example, Jason explains why it is important for his clients to be well-insured themselves, especially regarding auto insurance, so they can be well-protected from the nearly 25% of motorists who are driving uninsured.

Attorneys who are prepared to take a case to trial are more likely to hold insurance companies accountable and fight for the full and fair compensation each client deserves. By demonstrating a willingness to go to trial, attorneys like Jason, show insurance companies that they are serious about pursuing justice for their clients and will not back down from large corporate law firms.

A skilled trial attorney understands the importance of maintaining professionalism, integrity, and respect toward all parties involved in the case. While it should be obvious, respect for others in the face of a difficult circumstance illustrates humility and a genuine care for others regardless of the situation. Jason understands and appreciates that he represents not only his clients but his community and his family thus conducting his work in an honorable manner is very important to him and those he serves.
