Significant Matters

At The Ammons Law Firm, we have successfully handled complex litigation against large corporations, manufacturers, and negligent entities in cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death. Our experience spans across product liability, commercial trucking accidents, auto defects, and workplace incidents, securing record-setting verdicts and settlements for our clients.

Landmark Wrongful Death Verdicts

Our firm has represented families in wrongful death lawsuits resulting from negligent corporate actions, unsafe products, and preventable workplace hazards. In one case, our legal team secured a $222 million jury verdict for the wrongful death of a husband and father who lost his life due to a defective vehicle roof collapse—one of the largest personal injury verdicts in the country. Our wrongful death attorneys work tirelessly to hold corporations accountable when preventable design flaws and safety failures result in tragedy.

Significant Product Liability Litigation

We have led litigation against some of the largest automotive and tire manufacturers for selling defective products that put consumers at risk. Our firm successfully obtained a $33 million verdict against an auto manufacturer for a defective seatbelt system, proving that safety failures in vehicle design can have devastating consequences. Our product liability attorneys continue to fight against corporations that prioritize profit over consumer safety.

Major Truck Accident Cases

When negligent trucking companies and fleet operators fail to follow federal safety regulations, the consequences are often fatal. Our firm obtained a $15.6 million jury verdict in a case where a commercial truck’s unsafe operation led to the loss of a father’s life. Through our truck accident litigation, we have repeatedly demonstrated how poor maintenance, driver fatigue, and corporate negligence create dangerous road conditions.

Tire Defect and Auto Defect Lawsuits

Our firm has extensive experience in tire defect and rollover accident litigation, holding tire manufacturers responsible for design and manufacturing flaws that lead to catastrophic crashes. In one case, we secured a $7 million settlement for a family after a defective tire suffered a catastrophic tread separation, causing a fatal rollover accident. Our tire defect attorneys work to ensure that manufacturers are held accountable when their negligence leads to preventable deaths and injuries.

Workplace and Industrial Disasters

Industrial accidents and workplace explosions often occur due to corporate safety failures and defective equipment. Our firm successfully obtained a $12.5 million settlement for a worker injured in an industrial plant explosion caused by faulty equipment and ignored safety regulations. Our workplace accident attorneys pursue claims against equipment manufacturers and negligent third parties, ensuring that workers and their families receive the justice they deserve.

Commitment to Justice

Each case we take on represents a commitment to protecting victims' rights and demanding accountability from corporations that prioritize profits over safety. As personal injury attorneys, we understand the devastating impact these cases have on victims and their families, and we are dedicated to securing the compensation they deserve. At The Ammons Law Firm, we do not just litigate cases—we seek justice for families who have suffered unimaginable losses.

Pro Bono Work

At The Ammons Law Firm, we believe that access to justice should not be determined by financial status. Our attorneys dedicate time and resources to pro bono work, ensuring that victims of negligence, wrongful death, and catastrophic injuries have legal representation, even if they cannot afford it. Through advocacy, community partnerships, and direct legal assistance, we provide legal services to those most in need.

Fighting for Undocumented Immigrant Children

Attorney Herbie Montalvo has been recognized for his pro bono legal work representing undocumented immigrant children facing family, juvenile, and immigration court proceedings. Through his work with Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), he has helped children achieve special immigrant juvenile status, ensuring they have a path to safety and stability. His dedication to advocacy was recognized by Chevron, highlighting the impact of our firm’s commitment to pro bono legal services. (Read more)

Advocating for Families in Wrongful Death Cases

Our wrongful death attorneys provide pro bono legal assistance to families who have lost loved ones due to corporate negligence, defective products, and unsafe working conditions.

The Ammons Law Firm is proud to have attorneys recognized for their professional achievements and dedication to pro bono work.

Serving the Community Beyond the Courtroom

Beyond individual representation, The Ammons Law Firm actively supports charitable initiatives and partners with community organizations to provide legal assistance and education to those in need. As personal injury attorneys, we are committed to advocating for consumer safety, victims’ rights, and legislative changes that protect individuals from preventable harm and corporate negligence.

At The Ammons Law Firm, we do more than fight for compensation—we fight for justice, accountability, and a fair legal system that protects everyone.
