By taking on auto manufacturers regarding design and defects, we are a safeguard against motor vehicle industry negligence. Our work demands that all producers meet national safety standards. We accept lawyer referrals and work as primary counsel for individuals injured in vehicle accidents.
For more than twenty-five years, personal injury attorney Todd Tracy has recovered major financial damages for his clients as a safety watchdog over auto manufacturers. The Dallas Morning News described Tracy as a car accident lawyer with “the stance and presence of a middleweight boxer.” The automotive industry has felt his punch for many years as they squared off in courtrooms across the United States. Tracy has tried more Vehicle Crashworthiness cases than any attorney in the world and he has won most of them. He is not the typical car accident attorney that you see on television commercials. In fact, many of those same TV car wreck attorneys refer their vehicle safety defect cases involving death or serious injuries to the Tracy Law Firm.
