In 1991, Mr. Myers began his practice to serve as an advocate for those injured through the negligence of others. Since then, he has won verdicts and settlements of tens of millions of dollars on behalf those injured in automobile and railroad accidents, in fires, and from medical malpractice and dangerous products and premises.
