Motor Vehicle Accidents
We take your automobile accident case seriously. Most automobile cases settle before trial. The difference is we get our client ready for trial. Other law firms do not. Since the insurance company knows we will take our case to trial, it results in a larger settlement for our clients.
More than meets the eye.
There’s more than meets the eye to assembling a successful case for trial. After more than 25 years of litigating personal injury cases, attorney Lanny Darr has the resources and connections to assemble a winning strategy and the skill to present complex evidence in terms that resonate with judges and juries alike.

Buder v. Consumer Insurance USA
Plaintiff awarded $575,000.00 at arbitration for injuries he sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The at-fault driver had inadequate insurance so our client had to file a claim against his own insurance company. His insurance company paid the award, but claims remain pending for “bad faith” handling of our client’s insurance claim by his insurance company. This proceeding is further noteworthy because our client’s prior attorney tried to get the client to accept a settlement of less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00) before our law firm got involved.
Schupmann v. State Farm
The Arbitration Panel awarded One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Dollar ($165,000.00) due to a back injury suffered in South Carolina.

We presented our case to an arbitration panel and they ruled in our favor.
