Tim is particularly skilled at jury trials, and has tried a number of cases to verdict. Tim’s handles all types of personal injury cases, including car accidents, semi-truck accidents, ATV and motorcycle accidents, airline injuries, slip and falls, work accidents, animal attacks, neck and back injuries/whiplash/herniated disks, brain injuries, nerve injuries, bone and joint injuries, neck and back surgeries, wrongful death, and much more.
