"Our priority is to take care of our client and put our client's interests first, above all else. For example, when we calculate our 1/3 contingency fee, which is a standard fee in our industry, we calculate it on the net recovery, that is, we deduct the costs of the case before we calculate the 1/3 fee. Most firms do not do this, but calculate the 1/3 fee based on the gross recovery. They take one third of the recovery, then deduct costs, leaving less money for the client."

Anderson, South Carolina Serious Injury Attorney David F. Stoddard Gets Clients the Compensation They Deserve
Personal injury Attorney David Stoddard knows that hard work, compassion and attention to detail are the foundation of every successful settlement or verdict he achieves, and he tells of his recent successes:
Products Liability: Our client was operating a concrete saw when the blade shattered and caused the blade guard to fly off the machine, striking his chest and arm. The case was settled for $500,000.00
Automobile Accident: A man was driving a company vehicle after hours when he drove his wife to a bar, where they both consumed alcoholic beverages. On the way home, they had an accident and the wife was killed. We represented the wife's estate. The only insurance coverage available in this case was the coverage that covered the employer's vehicle. The employer claimed that the husband did not have authority to drive the vehicle after hours, and the insurer denied coverage. We were able to settle the claim for $200,000.00
Negligence: Our client was employed by gravel company. On the day of the accident, an outside company had come in to make repairs on one of the rock crushing machines and failed to properly secure the movable jaw. The unsecured movable jaw caused our client to fall 12 feet, landing on his knee. Ultimately, our client needed two surgeries on his knee as well as back surgery. The case presented a number of problems. First, the client came to us one week before the statute of limitations expired. Another attorney had informed him that he had no case because employees of the outside company were considered statutory employees of client's employer, and, thus, workers' compensation was his exclusive remedy. I filed suit, did research and ultimately prevailed on this issue, settling for $275,000.00
Truck Accident: Our client, a truck driver, passed a road where a driver was stopped at a stop sign. As he passed, a vehicle rear ended the stopped driver, pushing the stopped car into our client's truck. The client had been represented by another attorney, and the defendant had made an offer of only $4,000.00 to settle the case. When he retained our firm, it was obvious that he needed additional medical treatment, as he was still suffering problems from his elbow. Based on our advice, the client obtained the services of a new physician, who prescribed physical therapy. Ultimately, the client was released with permanent impairment to his elbow. We settled the case for $75,000.00
Caution: Each case is different and the results of any individual case depend on the evidence and facts of that case. If you have a case, the results of your case may differ significantly from those listed above depending on the facts of your case.
