Automobile accidents occur every few seconds in the United States. Recently more attention has been given to the largely preventable cause of many of these accidents - automobile defects. Car defects often lead to more serious accidents, due to the unexpected occurrence of the accident, which in turn cause significant personal injury and possibly wrongful death.

Injuries are often caused by negligence or reckless behavior on the part of others.

Trucking Accident 10%

Accidents involving tractor trailers or semi trucks are frightening and often lead to very serious personal injury and sometimes wrongful death. Due to their size and weight, these trucks must be handled by well-trained professionals with superior driving skills. Unfortunately even then truck accidents can occur. These truck accidents can be due to negligent behavior by the driver or unrealistic requests from the trucking company to complete a route in the shortest possible time.

Positive Experience

I had a very positive experience using Lance and his firm to represent me after my car accident. I felt that Lance was extremely knowledgeable and trusted that he was always representing my best interests. Responses to my calls and questions were answered quickly. Lance took the time to explain th...ings in detail when I asked and did not pressure me when I told him that I needed additional time to make decisions. His supporting staff is top notch. I would highly recommend his firm.

Defective and dangerous products lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Lance for more than 20 years, and have had the pleasure of working with him on several high-profile product liability and accident-related cases. Lance has an uncanny ability to take the most complex product liability cases and develop a simple trial strategy which is extremely effective. Lance is committed to working for his clients and maximizing their recoveries is of the utmost importance to him. Once Lance becomes involved in a case he is committed to seeing it to the end. Unlike a lot of trial lawyers, Lance is not afraid to try high-profile, high-damage, cases when other trial lawyers would simply settle them."
