The attorneys at Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers study and dissect recent court opinions and federal, state and local legislation related to injury, medical malpractice and wrongful death claims to craft productive strategies that will maximize our clients‘ compensation for damages, both now and in the future.

You see, injuries caused by the misconduct or negligent act of an individual, medical professional or corporate entity may resurface and intensify as our bodies age―making our anticipated “golden years” fraught with pain and discomfort.

Ward & Ward Personal Injury Lawyers consider future surgeries, treatments, loss of future wages, pain and suffering, and home remodeling expenses related to your lawsuit when determining the value of your claim.

"Don & Charlie are two of the most amazing people I have ever met. Charlie gave me great advice when I had an eye injury. I thought everything would be okay & he mentioned how I would have problems down the road & he was correct. Before it ever got to that point, Charlie took it upon himself to talk to the manufacturer that caused the injury. It was settled promptly & everything he mentioned would happen to my eye, did. The firm has so much experience & knowledge of things that can be problematic in the future. He has always responded quickly when I have the smallest issue but, need advice. I can't say enough about this firm."
