Personal Injury 30%

Mr. Myers represents hard working men and women injured through the negligence of others. He focuses his practice on employees of the railroad industry, and their families, and also represents people injured in automobile accidents and through medical malpractice, nursing home negligence and dangerous premises.

30%
Car Accident 20%

The roadways are a place in our society where each of us is utterly vulnerable to everyone else. Every year, thousands of people loose their lives and thousands more suffer debilitating injuries because other drivers are drunk, texting, overtired or simply not paying attention. Mr. Myers works hard to obtain compensation for motorists and passengers injured by the negligence of other drivers.

20%
Elder Law 5%

Mr. Myers believes that one of society's sacred obligations is to care for our elderly and he takes personal offense when nursing homes abuse and neglect their patients.

5%
Medical Malpractice 5%

Mr. Myers believes that people are at their most vulnerable, and are most trusting, when they are in the hands of medical care professionals. Physicans, nurses and other medical care providers must honor their patients' trust and must be held accountable when their negligence badly injuries their patients.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
