2025 Personal Injury Year in Review: $21.6M Recovered Fighting for Justice Across Alabama & Georgia
2025 Year in Review | Personal Injury Results at Bodewell
Momentum with purpose. After a spectacular 2024, Bodewell entered 2025 determined to push harder, dig deeper, and demand more accountability for injured clients. Our mission remained unchanged: fight for justice, expose wrongdoing, and recover the full measure of damages the law allows—especially when powerful corporations and insurers resist responsibility.
In 2024, Bodewell recovered nearly $15 million for clients across personal injury, wrongful death, nursing home abuse, and financial exploitation cases. In 2025, we built on that foundation—expanding our litigation strength, increasing recoveries, and delivering our most impactful year to date: Bodewell recovered over $21 million for clients in 2025—nearly $195,000 per case.

Justice Depends on Knowing the Law—and Using It
- Alabama: Contributory negligence requires meticulous evidence control to prevent unfair fault-shifting.
- Georgia: Modified comparative fault makes aggressive protection of recovery percentages essential.
- Deadlines: Many claims must be filed within two years; some notices are shorter—call to confirm your exact deadline.
At Bodewell, our work is about more than recoveries—it’s about accountability, safer communities, and protecting future generations. Meet the advocates behind these results on our Meet Our Team page or take the first step toward justice today.
