Personal Injury
All cases involving product liability and personal injury share one thing in common: The victims and their families are generally unprepared for the legal hurdles and emotional stress that come with pursuing just compensation. Because they have a limited amount of time to file claims, it’s important that victims of serious injuries have access to a trusted, empathetic team that can act quickly, tenaciously, and decisively on their behalf.

HIRING THE NATION’S LEADING EXPERTS. HANDLING EACH CASE WITH CARE.
Many “billboard lawyers” handle a large volume of cases, which often means less attention for each client. At Cherry Johnson Siegmund James, we take fewer cases so that we can focus on your case and your recovery. We work with some of the leading experts in the country — accident reconstructionists, safety engineers, certified life care planners, forensic economists. When you’re up against some of the largest corporations and insurance companies, you need the best on your side — and we have the relationships and resources to make it happen.
CHANGING THE WAY AMERICA DOES BUSINESS.
Our mission goes beyond results. Cherry Johnson Siegmund James is changing the way America does business. A jury trial is the purest form of democracy, where community members decide the standards for workplace safety, product design, professional conduct, and even the standards for hiring and training commercial drivers. With each case, we not only want companies and insurers to pay money, we want them to change the way they do business. No more hiring unsafe drivers. No more ignoring safety rules. No more sexual harassment in the workplace. No more putting people’s lives at risk. Cherry Johnson Siegmund James is committed to making our community — and our country — a safer place to work, drive, and live. We’ll make sure what happened to you never happens to anyone else. You can partner with us to make a real difference.
