We Recovered More than $1,116,839.67 for the Injured Last Month
Warnken, LLC recovered well over a million dollars for the injured last month. This brings our total recovered for the injured to over $3.3M in the last two months alone. Our total for this bizarre, COVID filled year is now over $9.4M. We continue to work hard for our injured clients every single day.
Please remember, no two cases are ever the same. A lot of factors go into the value of cases including severity of injury, success in healing, employment status, wages, and medical treatment, among just a few. Our previous success in one case, does not necessarily mean success in your case, even if the injuries are similar. We cannot and do not promise results. We promise diligence, best efforts, and communication. We promise that you matter to us.
