Henry believes the best chance of a fair settlement is preparation and having your case ready for trial even if litigation is not necessary. He therefore works personally with investigators, accident reconstruction experts, engineering experts other liability experts and your own treating doctors to prepare your case for maximum success. There are also times where he works directly with vocational rehabilitation and economic experts to better understand and establish long term lost income on behalf injured clients.
