VB Attorneys

You would never play a game without agreeing on the rules first, and nobody watching a game thinks the referee is what ruins it.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom makes the case that a free market works the same way. A contract only means something if there is somewhere to go when the other side does not honor it. You can sue, you can win, and you can actually collect. Where that is weak, markets are weaker too, and a family who loses someone in a wreck may recover close to nothing.

That is the part he likes about this work. The system people call anti-business is the thing that lets business function at all.

It is easy to look around right now and decide that nothing in this country works anymore.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom does not buy that. Institutions matter, none of them are perfect, and most of them need real work. But looking back over the last ten years of noise and upheaval, the one he thinks has held up best is the legal system. It is still the place where an ordinary person can make a powerful institution show up, answer questions under oath, and be judged by people from their own community.

It is late, you are on your phone looking up lawyers, and every one of them is promising you the same thing in the same words.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom is not a fan of mass advertising, even though he understands why it exists. The firm with the most billboards is not automatically the one that picks up when you call with a question on a Thursday afternoon. So look at what a firm has actually taken to trial, watch how a lawyer talks about a real case instead of about themselves, and go meet more than one. You are allowed to interview lawyers, and any firm worth hiring expects it.

A trial is still one of the most human things that happens in this country. In 2026, that is starting to feel unusual.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom explains why, under the system we have, a courtroom is one place a machine does not get a vote. Jurors decide. Witnesses sit in a chair and answer questions in front of people who can watch them do it. Courts tried running trials remotely during the pandemic and it did not work the same way, because reading a person is not something that survives a screen.

The gap between what the insurance company offered and what we asked for was smaller than what it cost them to pick a jury.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom tells the story of his first plaintiff's case, a small car wreck. Standing in the courthouse right before jury selection, he offered to split the difference. Farmers Insurance said no. The judge told their representative to take the deal. They said no to that too, and the jury came back for his client.

When the injured man is the captain, the defense writes itself. He was in charge, so whatever went wrong is on him.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom explains a Jones Act case where a captain fell seriously ill aboard a vessel in port. There was an emergency room 20 minutes away. He was driven through the night to a hospital in another state instead. Where the illness came from was never going to be provable. The hours he spent not being treated were.

If your employer carries workers' compensation, you generally cannot sue them directly. Most people stop there.

Trial Lawyer Brian Beckcom explains a case where a man suffered a serious head injury at work. Workers' comp pays on a schedule, so the real question became how he was classified: a temporary worker and a standard employee are covered by two different insurance policies. Subpoenas went out in the first weeks and turned up a document the owner wrote on the day of the injury calling him temporary.
