The Rise of Retirees & Young Truckers

On behalf of Ted B Lyon & Associates posted in Truck Accidents, Trucking Industry on Sunday, June 11, 2017.

As driver-shortages in the trucking industry become increasingly severe, the industry has had to look outside its traditional hiring pools for qualified drivers. The shortage also has put a damper on any federal and state attempts to better regulate the driving skills required to...

Safety Defects Played Large Role in Trucking Accident Cases

On behalf of Ted B Lyon & Associates posted in Truck Accidents, Trucking Industry on Tuesday, May 9, 2017.

Tractor trailers with safety defects were twice as likely to be involved in a serious accident as properly-maintained vehicles with up-to-date safety equipment. In a controlled study, more than a third of these accidents involved fatal injuries and 17 percent resulted in serious,...

I hired this amazing team after I was injured in a car accident. They worked so hard to get me the treatments I needed and made sure I had nothing to worry about, except healing. They were so nice and showed great dedication to my well being and were so nice to work with.

Marquette Wolf and his powerful team are a Godsent to my 2 little girls (ages 4 & 8 at the time) and I. In a single moment, I became a homeless, single parent, shattered widow. On Mon, Aug 31st, 2020, a propane explosion killed my husband and turned my home into matchsticks and toothpicks. In less than 48 hours, Marquette and his team of investigators had flown to MO and were on-site protecting me from all the ambulance chasers as well as the mere hope of any evidence left. I don't remember much that day when he arrived, I was very shaken and lifeless, but I do remember a still small voice within 5 mins of meeting Marquette that confirmed he was exactly who needed to be there. Not once in 777 days have, I ever questioned that confirmation. His team went to priceless lengths of even digging through rebel and debris, while still burning hot, trying to find my husband's wedding ring from where his body was found. Marquette was so accommodating with the healing process of my heart, patiently assisting me to attend every deposition and court hearing, while I tried desperately to understand exactly what happened in those moments that tragically stole my husband's life & all our dreams with our children and future. I was confident that a wrongful death trial would somehow bring some kind of justice to the thoughtless actions of the guilty and he was willing to fight that fight with me till the end, simply because that was the closure I needed. His word is IRON! Now, over 2 years later, EVEN IF the outcome was different and didn't bring the financial security for a lifetime for my girls and I that it has - I would still choose this firm, I am confident God ordered our steps together!

Finding yourself in an unexpected situation that is life changing is dreadful. The stress and worry can be overwhelming. Enter Ted Lyons and his professional and understanding team.

Mr. Lyons not only provided guidance but came to be someone that my brother and I could trust wholeheartedly with his future.

The unknown is scary when dealing with a company who morally and ethically failed you. The anger and resentment can be tough thing to handle.

Many Thanks to Mr. Lyons and his team. We owe you more then could ever be repaid. You and your colleagues lifted us up, ensured a financial future for my brother, and helped make sure he will be on solid ground.

When life tosses you a curve ball, believe in Ted Lyons and colleagues to have your back.

Christy Hester recently helped me with a personal injury case involving a car accident. Before hiring her, I had several medical bills and I was up against an insurance company that dragged their feet and tried their best to place fault elsewhere. Christy stepped in and took care of it all!
Christy’s credentials are quite impressive, and she equally impressed me with her people skills. She is an extremely competent, hard working, trustworthy attorney, and she navigated my case seamlessly. She spent countless hours doing research and fighting hard for my case. She proved how good she is at using tactics and negotiation techniques that allowed us to settle prior to going to court. Christy has a caring attitude and was extremely attentive to my needs. The level of attention and results that I received greatly surpassed every expectation that I had!
If you need a personally injury attorney, I highly recommend Christy Hester and her team!

So I was in a bad industrial accident over 3 years ago! I was recommended to this firm. A call was made to them and within a few hours Marquette Wolf was standing in front of me in the hospital room. From that moment on Marquette Wolf, Christy Hester and their Paralegal Bonnie Duran were sharks in the water ripping apart those responsible for the accident I was in!My family and I are extremely grateful to this team! Our case is over and we couldn't be happier! If your looking for weak attorneys this is not the place to go but if your looking for people who are going to win, I highly recommend calling them cause they're winners!

We had a great experience with Linda Kinkaid and their office staff. Communication is key and that is one thing Linda was great at. Not to mention very convenient we were able to review and sign docs online. Definitely will refer others, and friends and family as well. Thank you for the great work you did.

Ted and Marquette worked tirelessly on our case (Waldrip vs. U-Haul), for which we are very thankful. They kept us updated on everything from beginning to end, and even went to my mom and dad's house to visit with them after our case was over. That showed us they weren't just their clients. What my dad went through also had an affect on them. We will never forget what Ted, Marquette, and the rest of the staff did for us. Ted Lyon and Associates are the best!

I’d like to share some information about this firm. My mother passed away in the year 2021and after contacting this firm to represent me and my mother in her wrongful death they decided that they were too busy in another lawsuit to continue doing discovery on my mother’s death. They contacted me less than one month before her statue of limitation was up to say they wouldn’t be able to represent me. This is very unethical. They gave me a list of a few law Firms to call to see if I could find someone to represent me, but no one could now, due to the sensitivity of the statue of limitation coming up and I could no longer file this lawsuit due to the staff’s inconsistencies and unprofessionalism. Ted Lyons assistant, Mandy seemed to be disturbed to hear of the many calls I had made but none were returned. She apologized for the calls not being returned, and was going to investigate this info and get back with me. She claimed “we don’t run our office that way, so I will personally check into it.”Well, that was three weeks ago and as of yesterday Mandy is unethically now, there are still no answers and she said yesterday that she spoke with Mr. Lyons and he’s not returned her call to let her know what he has decided to do. I did let Mandy know that this review will be taken place. Be careful. Make sure you know who you’re talking to and make notes. Maybe this won’t happen to somebody else. The Statue of limitations is not a joke! They knew this was a time sensitive case but they just don’t care! I reported it to the Bar Association too!
