$4M Verdict: Sexual Assault Case Other Firms Declined | Meredith Moore, Rainwater, Holt & Sexton

Most personal injury firms miss seven-figure outcomes hiding inside cases they already have, or worse, cases they decline at intake. Meredith Moore, litigation leader at Arkansas's largest PI firm, Rainwater Holt & Sexton, reveals how she finds massive value in DWI cases, sexual assault claims, and abuse cases that other firms either reject or settle for pennies on the dollar. From a $4 million verdict against a behavioral health facility to systematically extracting policy limits on reckless driving cases, Meredith breaks down the intake questions, litigation strategies, and attorney assignments that turn overlooked cases into generational justice. In this episode, she walks through how her firm identified underperforming case categories (DWI accidents, sexual assault, abuse and neglect) and systematically increased their value by treating them as negligence-plus cases with punitive exposure, not routine claims. You'll learn: -How to train intake teams to recognize civil liability in cases that sound criminal -Which questions unlock hidden value -How to assign the right attorneys to cases that demand a bulldog mentality. -Meredith also shares the exact approach her firm used to secure policy limits on disputed liability cases and how her background as a prosecutor helps her spot cases other firms miss entirely. This is required listening for any firm owner who wants to maximize case value, improve intake conversion on complex claims, and build a litigation team that knows when to push and when to file.
