The Wetherington Law Firm has obtained some of the largest verdicts and settlements in the United States.
Results matter. But don’t let large numbers fool you. Most personal injury law firms, including us, have settled cases for large amounts. But all personal injury lawyers and law firms are not equal. ANY lawyer can get a $1 million settlement with a case worth $5 million. Very few lawyers have ever taken a case to trial. Even fewer have obtained verdicts that set records or force companies to change how they treat people. Our firm specializes in catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims. We get better results for our clients because we take cases to trial and obtain large verdicts. Even if your case does not go to trial, the threat of a verdict will force a higher settlement. The results listed on this page are representative of the kinds of cases we handle and the amounts we obtain at trial.
Call or text us at 470-524-3814 to start a conversation with one of our lawyers to see if we are a good fit for your case.

TESTIMONIALS
I called Matt after several people recommended him. He was very kind and did a very good job on my son’s case. We are very thankful for the work he did. Most importantly, he was never hard to reach and answered every question we had while going through the process. Matt is the only attorney I will ever call in the future.
- Emily
My husband is a cyclist that did not fair well against an SUV recently. Matt and his team took phenomenal care of us, allowing us not to stress out (too much) about the little things. Matt and his team handled everything with professionalism. We know we made the right call.
- Jane
So glad I hired this firm after my rearend car accident. Matt embodies the skill set and values I was looking for. He treats every case like a mini war, and was a zealous advocate on my behalf. And he did so in the most competent and skillful manner. He listened, was empathetic and understood my legal and nonlegal problems.
- Jared
It was important to me to get the maximum money I could for my broken neck and arm. After getting jerked around for months by State Farm, I interviewed several firms and chose Mr. Wetherington. I’m glad I did. He forced the insurance company to pay twenty times their last offer to me.
- Veronica
It is an honor to share my experience with Mr. Wetherington. He was able to get answers about what happened in my son’s wreck that other attorney’s were not able to do. I am so thankful for the work that he did and he was very thorough in his explanation of why the vehicle had a “defect.”

My case did not settle. The person that hit me only had minimal policy limits. Fortunately, I had my own insurance, which should have provided more money. My insurance company, Allstate, treated me like garbage. We had to sue them and go all the way to trial, which we won.
