Our goal in any accident case is to help recover the maximum compensation possible for the victim. In many cases, proving that the defendant was negligent is the least of your problems. Establishing the amount of the damages necessary to cover your losses can often be the real challenge.

We work with medical, vocational and rehabilitative experts from many fields to make sure that your injuries are properly diagnosed, treated and documented. We then use our experience with insurance claims adjusters to protect your interests. In some situations, you can expect just as much trouble dealing with your own insurer as you might with the other driver’s insurance company, especially on medical expenses or underinsured motorist coverage.

Shaw Law Ltd. has seen a rising trend in recent years toward litigation and trial of personal injury claims. Insurance companies today are more willing to take their chances in court while standing by low settlement offers. While the choice to take a claim to trial always belongs to the client, our trial experience can help improve your bargaining leverage while protecting your interests in court.

This shift in how insurance companies handle claims means that injured individuals must be prepared for a tougher fight to get the compensation they deserve. The reality is that pain and suffering extend far beyond medical bills and lost wages—injuries disrupt lives, strain relationships, and often leave victims grappling with long-term physical and emotional challenges. When insurers refuse to recognize the full extent of these hardships, pushing cases to trial becomes not just an option but a necessity.

Having legal representation with real trial experience ensures that clients aren’t pressured into unfair settlements but instead have the power to demand what they rightfully deserve. That’s where experienced advocates like Matthew Minskey play a crucial role. With insurance companies taking a more aggressive stance, having a seasoned legal team on your side can mean the difference between an inadequate payout and a resolution that truly accounts for the suffering endured.

Strong legal representation not only levels the playing field but also signals to insurers that lowball offers won’t be accepted without a fight. Whether it’s a car accident, a workplace injury, or a serious slip-and-fall, pursuing justice requires both legal expertise and a deep understanding of how injuries impact every facet of life.
