Car Accident 75%

I have recovered millions of dollars for victims involving Death, amputation, ruptured discs, fractured vertebrae, broken limbs, Traumatic Brain Injury, head injury, internal injuries, PTSD and others from Truck, car and motorcycle crashes. I have experts to call on to establish disabilities, impairments, accident reconstruction, loss of earnings, life care plans for the disabled to include future medical bills, future doctor/nurse care and defective vehicle parts and tires and highway defects.

75%
Slip and Fall Accident 12%

Older adults and people with visual and physical impairments are at extreme risk on properties that, through poor maintenance, building code violations or other needless dangers, are not safe. Broken bones, head injuries and other disabling injuries, often result. Laws generally help those who carelessly maintain their property, and not victims of unsafe conditions. I have helped victims of Falls, Structure Collapse, and Inadequate Security ( shootings ) recover millions in results.

48 years | 450 cases

12%
Defective and Dangerous Products 8%

I have recovered millions due to bad design or manufacture of products leading to Death, amputation, disfigurement, impairment and permanent total disability when products cause auto wrecks, fires, amputation, explosions and other needless danger to users or others. Often manufacturing standards, safety rules and common sense are disregarded when foreign or large corporations try to squeeze more profit by taking dangerous shortcuts that imperil workers and the unsuspecting public.

48 years | 220 cases

8%
Wrongful Death 5%

I have seen Tragedy result from anything from careless to criminal acts. Illegal 18 wheeler operation, cell phone distraction, design defect, Nursing Neglect, risky driving, burns, abuse of the helpless, deliberate indifference, gas leaks, burning appliances, highly flammable fabrics and furniture, shootings and stabbings are all areas, among others, where I have been successful for my clients. Attention to detail and experience are incredibly important to win these very important cases

Attorney you can trust

We were involved in a serious traffic accident in S.C. and obtained the services of Mr. Standeffer to represent us. He is very professional and personable and made us feel at ease during the legal process. There were a lot of extenuating circumstances regarding our case, but with his knowledge and ...experience, he was able to deliver a successful settlement outcome.

Personal injury lawyer | Jan 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have practiced law in Anderson SC since 1986. I have had an opportunity to observe David as an attorney many times, both as co-counsel on cases and on the other side as opposing counsel. When a member of my family was seriously injured, with a complicated legal case, the Family sought my advice on what attorney to use. I advised the family to retain David, and we were pleased with the results. I trusted David to represent my nephew. You can trust him."
