Trucking Accident 30%

Our lawyers have handled hundreds of Personal injury cases involving every kind of commercial motor vehicle including 18-wheelers, dump trucks, passenger transport vans, buses, and other heavy duty/construction trucks. These cases are significantly different from auto accident cases involving personal vehicles as there are many special regulations and circumstances that apply to big rigs that can greatly influence a truck accident case. Our lawyers are very experienced in handling these cases.

Insurance 10%

Insurance companies owe a high duty of care to their insureds, which is known as a fiduciary duty. Nevertheless, insurance companies engage in practices that result in wrongful denial of claims, or delay claims, or underpay claims. We level the playing field to protect the insureds from these bad faith practices.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
