A law firm’s win rate refers to the percentage of cases it successfully resolves in favor of its clients, typically through settlements or court verdicts that result in compensation. In Personal Injury Law, this does not usually mean winning at trial. It often means achieving a successful settlement before a case ever reaches a courtroom.
At The Illinois Hammer
At The Illinois Hammer, we maintain a 97% win rate. This number reflects the cases we choose to take and how we handle them from the very beginning. If we’re not confident in a case, we don’t move forward with it. When we do accept a case, it means we are prepared from day one to pursue the strongest possible outcome.
A common misconception is that a “win rate” refers primarily to trial victories. In reality, most personal injury cases never go to trial at all. Instead, they are resolved through negotiation with insurance companies. However, if a case does require litigation, our team is fully prepared to go the distance in court.
A 97% win rate reflects more than just outcomes, it reflects judgment and strategy. It means knowing when to push a claim forward, when to negotiate for a fair settlement, and how to position a case to achieve the best possible result for our clients.
The other 3% is also important to understand. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us a cent. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid when we recover compensation for you.
What This Means for Your Case
At the end of the day, a win rate is just one measure. What matters most is having a legal team that knows how to build your case from the start, protect your rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve.
