Plaintiff personal injury lawyers are stanch defenders of justice. We advocate for individuals who might otherwise be voiceless and stand up to large corporations that may be perpetrating injustices. We take on causes no one else will touch. Yet there is a common misconception that we are opportunists or "ambulance chasers," when in fact our work significantly improves our society. Because of our work tobacco manufacturers can't advertise to minor children, cars do not explode in rear-end collisions, and pharmaceutical companies must list the side effects of their drugs. If you ask any attorney at our law firm what their proudest career achievement is they would point you to a specific safety measure that was changed after their case, a convenience store that was shut down because of their client, or a statute that they fought to pass in the legislature to help our community.
