Wrongful Death 20%

A highway fatality is not just a car accident. A wrongful death—a death that results from another person's negligence—requires an experienced lawyer with the resources to handle the claim skillfully. At The Law Offices of Stephen R. Bough, we can help determine whether you can bring a claim, and help present your case through the effective use of experts, such as economists, accident reconstructionists, and investigators.

Trucking Accident 10%

Many personal injury attorneys treat a tractor trailer crash as a bigger car crash. In reality, not only are the consequences frequently more devastating than a two-car crash, a collision with a semi truck is very different legally. Proper litigation of an injured party's claim requires an attorney who is experienced in handling 18-wheeler accidents.

  • 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.
