We have a history
of securing Millions for our clients

There are some things in life that you would not give up no matter the price. But catastrophic injuries happen, and they impact the kind of life you can experience afterwards.

The million dollar verdicts and settlements allowed our clients to have the final decision on how their life can look like moving forward:

  • What kind of healthcare they have access to
  • Compensation to make up for their future pain and suffering
  • And finding solace in knowing justice was served against the negligent.

At Cronauer Law, we know that real justice requires more than just a payout — it requires power to choose your future.

That’s why we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Because when the other side knows we’re ready for the courtroom, that’s when we secure the maximum compensation — and give our clients the leverage to rebuild on their own terms.

How Do I Know I Have A Case?

If you were injured in any way–medically, emotionally, physically, in a car, at work, on the street–then you may have a case. Employers, companies, and individuals have a “duty of care.” This term refers to each person’s obligation to avoid actions or situations that endanger other people.

Personal injury attorneys offer their services on what is called a “contingency fee” basis. That means we pay for all the upfront costs of your case–retaining specialists, paying court costs, reviewing medical care. Our lawyers work to win you a verdict or settlement that will cover the case costs.

As soon as possible, ideally. Give our personal injury law firm a call to speak with one of our staff members confidentially, even if it’s not normal business hours where you are. Also feel free to fill out our contact form with some basic information about you and your case. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.

Once we’ve investigated the basic details of your injuries and your case, we’ll be able to tell you how much compensation you’re entitled to. While we (and no ethical attorney) can make promises regarding your case, we can help calculate the costs, bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc., caused by your harm.

Cronauer law injury attorneys have tried virtually every type and size of plaintiff’s claim possible. We’ve handled cases on behalf of people injured in car crashes, Engineers injured in a slip and fall, and even businessmen who have been wronged by their partners. Our firm has made a name for itself in a variety of legal areas. Our results in complex areas like commercial litigation, trucking accidents, and Product Liability barely scratch the surface.

Whatever the nature of your injury, we have the experience and resources to demand compensation on your behalf.
