Medford Burn Injury Attorney Firm

If you’re a burn victim, you know the meaning of pain like few do. We’ve helped many burn victims recover and obtain winning results.

In one of our first burn cases, our law firm helped a severely burned little girl go to Federal Court against the corporate giant, Wal-Mart.

After almost five years of fighting Wal-Mart’s insurance company, the case was headed for trial. Our attorney arrived where the Wal-Mart trial would be held seven days early, where he parked across the street from the Federal Courthouse in the motor home in the Amtrak station.

A court clerk allowed the use of an empty court room on the 16th floor to enable our attorney to practice for hours in front of an empty jury box.

The morning of trial arrived, and the Wal-Mart’s insurance attorney said to our attorney outside the court room. “I have an offer for your client: Nothing.”

During the five-years of litigation, Wal-Mart tasked five lawyers to work on the case against our law firm; they’d fought pleading-wars, questioned burn experts, enlisted opposing metallurgists, consulted economists and engineers, cross-examined products-testing UL Laboratory experts, drafted reams of pleadings, and fought in dozens of depositions and hearings. Now the final fight was at hand.

Trial was full of the colorful characters and unexpected developments worthy of reality-television. At the mid-week mark, an earthquake even shook the federal building and interrupted the trial. Our lawyer spoke into the microphone, “Your Honor, I think that’s an earthquake.”

The judge responded, “I think you’re right, Counselor. Next question.”

And the trial rolled on. Some witnesses collapsed under the weight of cross-examination; others took the hits and stood even taller; the burned little girl’s grandmother cried on the stand, and so did her firefighter father.

Then our law firm put on our surprise witnesses: a police officer, and an “ear-witness.” Later during closing arguments our attorney pointed out that as the jurors were listening to those witnesses, Wal-Mart’s lawyers were hearing them for the first time, too!

Our attorney finished by asking the jurors how Wal-Mart’s founder Sam Walton–if he were still alive–might view his store’s treatment of this burned girl. He answered the hypothetical for them, “He’d tell them to go back and pick that little girl up! That’s not how we treat our customers!”

Wal-Mart’s lawyers were caught totally off guard. In the end, after six hours of deliberating, the jury’s unanimous verdict was $3.1 million!

The little girl’s father was quoted in the media outlets, “[Reed Law Firm] was awesome. When their expert got up there at first he said there were no defects in the [exploding] pot. [Reed Law Firm’s lawyer] got up there and got their expert to say, ‘Yes, there are many defects.’ We were sitting there in awe.”

But it wasn’t over yet – Wal-Mart’s insurance lawyers took the case to the Court of Appeals; however, our law firm took this in stride, and after a prolonged appellate battle, Wal-Mart’s insurance lawyers finally gave up. The little girl got the money she needed to fix her severe hypertrophic scarring. The case made the front page of newspapers. Soon afterward, Wal-Mart’s stock pots began appearing with new safety devices on them so that no one else would have to get hurt so horribly. David had won against Goliath.
