We understand that pursuing a personal injury claim can feel like  swimming with sharks. Between missed work, medical bills and insurance companies, things can get overwhelming very quickly. The doctors want to be paid, the boss wants you back at work and the insurance companies want to settle your claim as quickly and cheaply as possible. Let’s face it, looking out for you is not their job. At Frohnmayer Deatherage we believe that those who have suffered an injury or lost a loved one are entitled to a level playing field. Looking out for you is our job, and we take it seriously. With over 100 years of combined trial experience our team of attorneys has the knowledge, resources and reputation necessary to fend off the sharks and meet the challenges of your claim.
