Our Reputation

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear directly from those we’ve helped: our clients and co-counsel.

It was the worst day of our lives. My wife and 12-year-old son were on their way home from school when a speeding SUV crossed the center line and crashed into them, almost killing them. The driver had limited insurance and we were facing catastrophic injuries and hundreds of thousands—if not millions—in medical bills. The tenacious and creative lawyers at Yarborough Applegate aggressively pursued other non-traditional defendants and were able to make a full financial recovery for our family. Now, we don’t have to worry about any of our past or future medical bills or lost wages and have complete financial security. We feel so lucky to have had them represent us, and shudder to think what would have happened had we gone elsewhere. Clyde R.
Douglas fought hard for me every step of the way. He turned down several low-ball offers and pushed my case right up to a trial. Douglas and his team turned a horrible experience and injury that I suffered into a positive result. I can’t say enough good things. Helene S.
When I got the call that my husband was electrocuted and tragically lost his life while at work, I was in shock and didn’t know where to turn for help. I am so grateful we found Liam Duffy as our lawyer. He immediately stepped in during our darkest hour with a plan of action that not only helped us through all the fears and unknowns, but he quickly identified the responsible parties, aggressively pursued our case, and made them pay. Nothing will ever bring my children’s father back, but I am thankful that their futures are financially secure thanks to Mr. Duffy and the compassionate, hard-working team at Yarborough Applegate. Natalie P.
My family is so grateful for the guidance and counsel of Yarborough Applegate in the wrongful death case regarding my mother. Attorney Perry Buckner and paralegal Amy Johnson were the professional, supportive team we needed to secure justice. Perry is a knowledgeable professional and strategist who guided me every step of the way to protect my interests. Amy provided endless hours of professional guidance and emotional support. They have access to professionals in a variety of fields who aided our case. In a foreign landscape, grieving, I looked to them for guidance. They heard me when I said that the case needed to be about more than a potential financial resolution: I wanted to effect change in the nursing home landscape. I highly recommend Yarborough Applegate as your partner when you have suffered loss of any kind. Tammy L.
Our Commitment to Social Good

Beyond helping our clients recover well-deserved compensation for their injuries, our cases have prompted sweeping cross-industry safety improvements—the kinds of reforms that can prevent countless instances of future harm.

Corporate Medical Scan Policy

Settlement for a missed pediatric brain tumor includes corporate changes for Medquest facilities nationwide to reduce MRI and CT scan margin of error.

Trucking Cell Phone Ban

Trucking case settlement prompts cell phone policy change for a large manufacturer and sets the stage for other large trucking companies to follow suit.

Nursing Home Safety Measures

This case involved the tragic (and preventable) choking death of our client’s elderly mother with dementia at a nursing home. In addition to a significant monetary settlement, with the help of experts we developed a high-quality, professional training video that the large national nursing home corporation was required to use in all future training to prevent similar choking deaths from happening again.

National Restaurant Chain Customer Protection

After a woman ingested a metal wire embedded in her dish at Outback Steakhouse, a jury verdict leads to a safety change across the entire Bloomin’ Brands family of restaurants, protecting customers worldwide.

Safe Alcohol Service Standards

We have litigated numerous dram shop cases against bars and restaurants for violating the standards of safe alcohol service. On several occasions, our settlements in those cases have gone beyond financial recovery for our clients. For example, we have required bars to implement additional training programs and policies to prevent reoccurance, and required servers of alcohol to undergo “Responsible Alcohol Service” training by nationally recognized, third-party providers.

Our Difference
Grit

Dig deep, leave no stone unturned, and be ready for trial, every time. That’s our commitment to our clients—and why when we do agree to settle, it’s for top dollar.

Courage

We’re advocates for the underdog, not afraid to stand up to corporations in our pursuit to level the playing field for individuals who have suffered a loss.

Drive

Keep learning. Ask questions. Think creatively. Try things differently. In our pursuit of justice, we never stop exploring cutting-edge opportunities to share a victim’s story.

Empathy

The capabilities and resources of a large firm, the personal, caring touch of a small one. We support and stand by victims at the time they need an ally the most.

Our Industry Leadership

We’re driven to set a higher standard. Together, our team has published two game-changing legal playbooks and numerous articles in industry publications.

Our Recognition

It’s humbling to be acknowledged for our tireless and tenacious efforts to secure justice for our clients.
