Morgan has represented a host of seriously and permanently injured men, women and children, in cases ranging from brain and spinal cord injuries to burn injuries, as well as the families of those killed by tragedy. He has achieved record verdicts and settlements in the millions and millions of dollars for his clients and has multiple million dollar plus recoveries.
