Serious Injuries Need Top Legal Expertise to Win
You are looking for a personal injury attorney because something very wrong has happened to you or someone you care about. An incident caused serious injuries that should not have happened and you are suffering the consequences. Bottom line: you need legal help, counsel, and compassion. We want to hear about what happened, answer your questions, and listen to your concerns. More importantly, to understand what it is going to take to put lives back together after a serious injury or loss.
We have handled many hundreds of personal injury cases. Our goals are always the same:
- Justice and compensation for the people we represent;
- Reduce the risk that negligence, defective products, and unsafe working conditions will injure other individuals and harm their families.
A victory in a personal injury case is often a victory for public safety and the good of the community.
The Right Lawyer CAN Make All the Difference after a Car Crash
The Corson & Johnson Law Firm’s experienced trial lawyers work within the judicial system to bring about results for our clients and bring changes that will protect others. We bring compassion for survivors and their families, while aggressively pursuing compensation and accountability from the responsible party.
There is no charge for an initial case consultation. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingent fee basis: no attorney fees are charged unless there is a recovery in the case.
