When we are representing a client who has suffered a spinal cord injury that has resulted in paraplegia or quadriplegia, we have a heavy responsibility to make sure to do the very best job possible for that seriously injured client. The best law firms use focus groups as a way to decide how to motivate the insurance company to pay a maximum amount to the injured person, or to convince the jury to do so if the insurer fails to make a fair settlement. Spinal cord injuries can happen in various kinds of accidents in North Carolina (NC) including in a car or truck wrecks, slip and fall injuries, work place injuries including doing railroad work, or as a result of a doctor or hospital’s mistake. Focus groups are a way to present the facts to the kinds of regular citizens of North Carolina who might be on the jury to see what they think is important and what they need to know in order to do the right thing to take care of a person injured in an accident that wasn’t their fault and who is going to need a lifetime of care to treat their spinal cord injury.
