The Morse Injury Law Advantage | 5 Reasons We Win Big Cases

The “Ghost Lawyer” Problem. We recently took over a case from a massive firm that advertises on billboards all over San Diego. The client, David, had been with them for eight months. In that entire time, he had never spoke to a lawyer. He only spoke to a “Case Manager” who had no law degree and was pressuring him to take a $15,000 settlement just to close the file. David felt like a number. When he hired Morse Injury Law, he spoke to Richard Morse on Day 1. We found that the other firm had missed a crucial detail: the at-fault driver was on the clock for a delivery app. That $15,000 offer turned into a $250,000 settlement. The “Edge” isn’t magic; it’s attention to detail.

DILIGENCE & ADVOCACY (RULE 1.3)

Under California Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 1.3, a lawyer shall act with “reasonable diligence.” At Morse Injury Law, we believe diligence means more than just filing paperwork on time. It means “Supervening Diligence”—the refusal to accept the first “No” from an insurance company. Where high-volume firms see a “policy limits” cap and stop working, we see the start of an investigation. We dig for umbrella policies, corporate assets, and third-party liability. Our “Edge” is simple: We do the work that other firms are too busy to do.
