Warnken, LLC once again recovered in excess of two million dollars for our injured clients last month. Forty-six cases concluded, either permanently, or, in the case of some workers’ comp cases, for now. Of the 46, four cases resulted in recoveries to the injured client in excess of $100,000.

It’s crucial to remember that no two personal injury, workers’ compensation, or car accident cases are exactly the same.  The injuries, the lost wages, the medicals are just the start of determining the value of a personal injury case.

Our job is to help you recover the most compensation possible for your injuries. We do not promise specific results or specific numbers – no honest lawyer should. However, we promise our best efforts. Also, you don’t pay our fee or expenses, unless you win.
