Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements

At Howell Justice, our case results reflect a proven record of success across both personal injury and employment law matters. We have secured meaningful recoveries for clients injured in car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, dog bites, and other serious injury cases, as well as for employees wrongfully terminated, retaliated against, or subjected to unlawful workplace practices. Whether through strategic settlements or decisive courtroom victories, we fight to recover the full compensation our clients deserve, often in cases where insurers or employers initially refused to accept responsibility. Every result underscores our commitment to thorough preparation, aggressive advocacy, and protecting the rights and livelihoods of those we represent.
