Trucking Accident 25%

We represent folks that have been injured by drivers of 18 wheelers, dump trucks, and other commercial vehicles, like food and drink delivery trucks. Many of these drivers are inexperienced or simply overworked in an industry that is short on well qualified drivers. There are numerous state and federal regulations that govern the trucking industry. Unfortunately those regulations are frequently not enforced thus endangering the lives of innocent drivers.

Cost

I have used this law firm twice. They first time the communication was bad, but the outcome of the case ended ok so I used them again. My second accident is being settled now. This time the communication was better. My only issue is the cost. In the beginning of this case I was told that the price wa...s 30% of the settlement. But now the are saying 40%. I believe that the clients should get majority of the settlement, not saying that the lawyers shouldn't what they are worth. I just feel it is not fair. They give away money all the time on the radio and that's from them getting their percentage from thier clients, so why not give the majority of the settlement to the injured clients. I settled but I am not happy with the results. Over all the lawyers I had this time was very perfessional.

James Sung is the BEST

James Sung was truly a lifesaver during such a stressful time! I had never been in a wreck before, and the whole process was so overwhelming and new to me. But James took the time to explain every step and made sure I felt comfortable with everything that was happening. He was always there to answer ...my questions, no matter how big or small, and made sure I never felt alone in the process. I can't thank him enough for his kindness, patience, and professionalism. THANK YOU SO MUCH, James! You're amazing!

The Witherite Firm is top notch both the in the office and the community. Truly wishing them nothing but ...the best

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.
