The Trial Standard
Every case prepared as if a jury will decide it.
Most firms prepare to settle. We prepare to win in front of twelve jurors — reconstructing the scene, retaining the experts, and building the exhibits before the first demand letter is ever sent.
Insurers keep lists of which firms actually try cases. When your counsel is on that list, the value of your claim changes. That is the quiet arithmetic behind every result on this page.
Practice Areas
Serious injuries deserve serious counsel
We limit our practice to significant personal injury and wrongful death claims, so every case receives partner-level attention and trial-ready preparation from day one.
Medical Malpractice
Misdiagnosis, surgical error, and birth injury claims built with board-certified medical experts and meticulous record analysis.
Workplace & Construction Injuries
Falls, equipment failures, and third-party negligence claims that reach beyond the limits of workers' compensation.
Premises Liability
Unsafe properties, negligent security, and structural failures — holding owners accountable for hazards they knew about and ignored.
Product Liability
Defective vehicles, machinery, medical devices, and consumer products, litigated against manufacturers of any size.
Wrongful Death
Compassionate, unflinching representation for families seeking answers and full accountability after an unimaginable loss.
Notable Results
Recent verdicts & settlements
$18.6M

$6.75M
Premises Liability — Settlement

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is evaluated on its own facts.
How It Works
From first call to final verdict
-
The Conversation
A free, confidential case review with an attorney — not an intake service. We listen, assess, and give you a straight answer about your claim within one business day.
-
The Investigation
Within 48 hours we move to preserve what wins cases: scene evidence, vehicle data, surveillance footage, medical records, and witness testimony.
-
The Pressure
We file, litigate, and prepare exhibits as though trial were tomorrow. Insurers respond to readiness — settlements follow strength, not patience.
-
The Result
You decide whether to accept a settlement or proceed to verdict. Either way, you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Why Ashworth & Vale
Insurers know which firms go to trial. We are one of them.
- No fee unless we win — consultations are free, and we advance every cost of your case.
- Trial lawyers, not a settlement mill: insurers pay more when they know your counsel is prepared to go to verdict.
- Direct access to your attorney — one partner accountable for your case from intake to resolution.
- Investigation within 48 hours: scene evidence, records, and witnesses preserved before they disappear.
After the crash, the insurance company offered us $40,000 and a deadline. Ashworth & Vale took the case to trial and won more than thirty times that. They treated my family like their own.
Time limits apply to every injury claim.
In most states you have as little as two years from the date of injury to file — and critical evidence disappears far sooner. Speak with an attorney today. The consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.
