With decades of trial experience, we negotiate with insurers and litigate when necessary to maximize client recovery.
Wrongful Death
Our firm advocates for families who lost loved ones due to preventable accidents. We investigate causes ranging from medical malpractice to commercial vehicle crashes, establishing liability against corporations and individuals. Compensation covers funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional trauma, with a focus on holding negligent parties fully accountable through aggressive litigation.
Truck Accident
Handling cases involving 18-wheelers and freight trucks, we analyze federal regulations and driver logs to prove violations. Our team collaborates with accident reconstruction experts to demonstrate how carrier negligence caused catastrophic injuries. We pursue claims against trucking companies, insurers, and third parties to cover lifelong medical care and rehabilitation costs.
Car Accident
We handle all types of motor vehicle accidents, including DUI crashes and rideshare incidents. Our lawyers prove fault through police reports and witness statements while countering insurance tactics to undervalue claims.

We hold daycare centers responsible for preventable injuries caused by inadequate supervision or unsafe facilities. Our attorneys document regulatory violations and secure compensation for medical expenses, therapy, and long-term care.

Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case. Legal fees start at 33% of recovered compensation, with no upfront costs or hidden fees.
What types of damages can accident victims claim?
Victims may seek economic damages (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain and suffering), and punitive damages in cases of gross negligence, such as drunk driving accidents.
How do I prove negligence in a personal injury case?
Proving negligence requires demonstrating duty of care, breach through reckless or careless actions, direct causation of injuries, and measurable damages through medical records and financial documentation.

I had an excellent experience working with Baumgartner Law Firm on a case involving my son and a daycare. From start to finish, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Lissa was particularly amazing - she was always kind, approachable, and proactive in keeping me informed every step of the way. I never had to reach out for updates because the team consistently communicated with me and made sure I knew what was happening throughout the case.

They truly made a difficult and potentially overwhelming situation much easier for our family to handle. I'm incredibly grateful for all their hard work, dedication, and genuine care, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Baumgartner Law Firm to anyone in need of legal support.

A++ service and integrity! I called Mr. Baumgartner's office to discuss a legal matter and he spent about 30 minutes going over the relevant laws, planned a strategy and gave me several options to choose from regarding how to proceed. He made it clear from the beginning that his firm wasn't the right one to take my case, but yet spent time explaining all of the relevant legal angles I should be considering. It's rare to get this sort of personal service and professionalism these days. Highly recommended!

Greg and Lisa are wonderful people. They kept me updated throughout the whole process & answered all the questions I had regarding my case. They answered all my phone calls, and were very professional the whole time. I also got the chance to meet with Greg on a more personal level, and he is the most honorable and dedicated lawyers I've ever met. I highly recommend this Law Firm to anyone who is in need.

I was involved in a fairly serious auto accident and was truly unsure of what to do. A friend of mine recommended Greg to me. Contacting him was the best decision that I could ever have made. He met with me and went over all the information regarding my claim. This was followed with constant case updates and requests for further information if needed. The professionalism of him and his staff is really beyond comparison.

They handled my case with an outstanding amount of care. The biggest benefit was not having to worry about the details along with the peace of mind knowing that I had a great team of people fighting for me. If I ever had any questions, Greg and his staff were always just a phone call or e-mail away, and I always felt that they truly cared about me and would do anything to help. The case was resolved quickly and in my favor, due to the hard work and determination that Greg put into my case.

He is an attorney that is dedicated to helping his clients and going the extra mile to get things done. I would not hesitate to use him again and he is the only attorney that our family will use in the future. I honestly could not ever imagine such a great experience coming out of such an awful accident.

I was so thrilled with the service I received from Mr. Baumgartner and his assistant, Lissa John. I am not a person who wants to sue a person or a company, so I really dreaded this whole process. They made me feel like I was heard, and completely put me at ease. If you are looking for a lawyer who will take care of your case with "class", Mr. Baumgartner is the lawyer for you.

I spoke with Attorney Greg by phone concerning my semi-truck accident. It was a very pleasant and very informative conversation. He did not have to talk to me on a Saturday about what is considered a minor accident, but he did and it meant a lot and was incredibly helpful. Would definitely recommend speaking with him to discuss legal options and understand your choices.

Greg Baumgartner and his entire staff are very accessible, diligent, and dependable. After my two sons were in a head on collision with a drunk driver, dealing with the liable party's insurance company and all the paperwork and hospital bills was overwhelming. Mr. Baumgartner was very patient with us, always answered our questions and gave us objective counsel we knew we could trust. He is very easy to get a hold of and communicate with. My experience with Baumgartner Law was excellent. He was a pleasure to have on my side and I would highly recommend him!

She was responsive to all of my needs and fought to make sure that I received a proper settlement. I would definitely recommend this law firm.
