Sarah Jewell of McMath Woods Highlights Gender Disparity in Personal Injury Law
Sarah Jewell, a partner at McMath Woods, is making strides in the personal injury legal field, a specialty still predominantly occupied by men. Jewell, who practices in Little Rock and Fayetteville, Arkansas, is recognized for her work in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. Despite the increasing presence of women in law, Jewell notes that personal injury law remains male-dominated. She attributes this to the contingency fee structure of the field, which may deter those with family obligations. Jewell's passion for justice and fair treatment led her to this area of law, where she advocates for the rights of injured individuals and their families. She expresses concern over potential tort reform, which she believes could limit the rights of her clients by capping corporate liability.
