When you hire a lawyer, you are making a numbers decision whether you realize it or not.
You are choosing who will stand between you and an insurance company.
You are choosing who will present your case to a jury.
You are choosing who will fight for your benefits when the system says no.
The numbers matter.
National data consistently shows that plaintiffs win personal injury cases at trial less than half the time. According to data analyzed by the U.S. Department of Justice, plaintiffs prevail in roughly 47.55 percent of personal injury trials.
That means if you walk into a courtroom with the average firm, the odds are essentially a coin flip.
Most successful personal injury cases settle. However, just because an accident victim accepts a settlement, this does not mean that the settlement reflects just compensation for the victim’s financial and non-financial losses.
At our firm, our overall win rate in personal injury cases is 98% percent.
We do not say that lightly. We try cases. We prepare every file as if it will go before a jury in Volusia, Flagler, or the surrounding counties. Insurance companies know which firms are willing to try a case and which firms are not. That reputation changes outcomes long before a jury is ever selected.
When the odds matter, you go with the firm that wins.
The numbers are even more sobering in Social Security Disability cases.
According to published Social Security Administration Data:
In other words, most people who apply are told no. then they are told no again.
Our Firm wins approximately 90 percent of the SSD cases we handle.
We understand how to build the medical record, how to frame functional limitations, and how to present vocational evidence in a way that Administrative Law Judges recognize and respect. Disability law is not about sympathy. It is about evidence, preparation, and credibility.
When the system is designed to deny, you hire a firm that knows how to win.
A big settlement number means nothing if it disappears.
We do not treat the case as over once the settlement check arrives.
We have seen it happen too many times where the client is left to figure out the hospital liens, health insurance reimbursement claims, and other outstanding balances. That is not how we practice.
We do not just fight to win your case.
We fight to make sure you win financially.
We negotiate hospital bills.
We negotiate liens.
We challenge outstanding balances.
We structure disbursements strategically so your recovery is financially optimized.
Because the real question is not how much the case settled for.
The real question is: How much ends up in your pocket?
We live here.
We raise our families here.
We reinvest into this community.
We do not operate on a national scale. Our clients are not file numbers. At Rue & Ziffra, our clients are our neighbors. Our attorneys and employees are spread across Port Orange, Daytona Beach, Palm Cast, DeLand, Ormond, and the surrounding areas.
When we walk into a Volusia Cunty courtroom, we are not outsiders. We are local trial lawyers standing up for people we may see at the grocery store next week.
That matters.
