crash injury lawyers

Crashworthiness cases are some of the most complex, challenging cases in the practice of law to develop and prove.


In crashworthiness cases, the evidence must be preserved as soon as possible after the accident. Experts in various fields, including mechanical engineers, biomechanics, and accident reconstruction are brought together to evaluate each case. Our trial lawyers are well-versed in the engineering principles involved in these cases and know the dynamics involved in this challenging field of practice.

These are all extremely hard fought cases. The auto companies hire large corporate firms to defend them. Compounding the challenge, car manufacturers defend these claims vigorously, sparing no expense to attack the plaintiff's evidence, and trying to blame drivers, weather, road conditions, or any factor other than the car's design problems. Any law firm that litigates in this area must be prepared to invest a lot of money in order to put together a winning case.

Crashworthiness Litigation

We have the knowledge, experience and resources to put crashworthiness cases together and bring them to a successful conclusion. We have prosecuted cases against major automobile manufacturers from the United States and overseas.

We will take your case all the way through trial if necessary to recover full value for your injury. We do that because we believe that each and every client deserves someone who will fight for them and because it's the right thing to do on behalf of our client.
