Case results and fee disclaimer

Stewart Law Offices highlights past results, including multi‑million‑dollar recoveries for car accidents, wrongful death claims, and tractor‑trailer accidents. The firm's website notes the following important disclaimer about these results:

• Listed results are before deduction of fees and cost. Case results vary. Prior results do not guarantee any future outcomes.

For specific questions about how fees would work in your case, the firm recommends discussing details directly during your free consultation.

• Free consultation to review what happened, your injuries, and how they affect your life.
• Attorneys review documentation such as medical records, accident photos, police or incident reports, and insurance information.
• The legal team explains personal injury law basics, evaluates the strength of the claim, identifies potential defendants, and discusses realistic compensation ranges.

2. Investigation and evidence preservation

Once representation begins, the firm:

• Obtains police reports, medical records, photographs, witness statements, employment records, and other relevant evidence.
• May retain expert witnesses such as accident reconstruction specialists, engineers, medical professionals, and life care planners in complex cases.

3. Claim filing and insurance negotiation

• Attorneys prepare a detailed demand package supported by evidence.
• The demand is submitted to the at‑fault party's insurance company.
• When insurers respond with insufficient offers, the firm counters with evidence‑based arguments to pursue fair compensation.

4. Settlement negotiation or trial preparation

• If negotiations stall, the firm prepares the case for trial.
• This can include depositions, expert reports, organizing exhibits, and developing persuasive arguments for court.
• Many cases resolve through settlement once defendants recognize the strength of the evidence presented.

5. Settlement or verdict and recovery

• After a settlement is reached or a verdict obtained, the firm handles necessary paperwork.
• Liens are addressed, and the client's net recovery is distributed so they can focus on healing and rebuilding.
