“What happens if the injured party, who you’re representing, you guys lose the lawsuit? What happens then? Or, how do they lose the lawsuit?”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“I mean, the phrasing of that question, simply can’t be answered.”

“Well, let me ask this question in a better way then. Somebody walks in your office, and they said, ‘am I going to be able to get whole again’? Is it a loss if they don’t get whole? Or, is it adjusting their perspective on the case itself, to where whatever the end result is, that’s a win for this person?”
Spencer Freeman – Personal Injury Attorney – Pierce County, WA
“So, every case is going to be different when you’re going to do some balancing analysis that you’re talking about, and really it comes down to an economic analysis. What are the risks of going to trial versus here’s a settlement offer that’s in front of me, and here’s what that means to the client in their pocket? If you go to trial, what are you gambling? Nothing’s for sure. So, if you lose after a trial, you question whether or not you did your balancing analysis correctly on whether or not to have taken a settlement.”
