He has a vast range of experience, having successfully prosecuted almost every type of injury or death case imaginable – from trucking accidents to chemical explosions. Mr. Boughter was born in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He received his undergraduate degrees in criminology and Spanish magna cum laude from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1997.

Mr. Boughter received his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Indiana University Maurer School of Law in 2002, which he attended on partial scholarship. Following law school, Mr. Boughter worked for a prominent insurance defense firm in northwest Indiana, where he defended trucking companies, municipalities, police officers, businesses and insurance companies from claims for personal injury, wrongful death, insurance bad faith and civil rights violations. Mr. Boughter now practices exclusively in the areas of plaintiff’s personal injury, including catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability, construction and work-related injuries.

Mr. Boughter has obtained multiple 7-figure recoveries on behalf of his clients.
