Committed to fighting for your rights and securing the compensation you are entitled to.
When you have been physically hurt because of a poorly designed product or due to someone else’s neglect, violence, or abuse, it is critically important to find a lawyer who knows how to fight and secure justice.
It will come as no surprise that insurance companies routinely trample the rights of consumers, knowing that most of us don’t have the resources or knowledge to fight. What you may not know is that I do. My job is to bring multi-billion dollar companies to their knees to respect and honor their duty to a single person: You.
When someone has been killed because someone else wrongfully caused it, our justice system does not remain silent. It creates a path for answers, accountability, and healing. These cases create an opportunity to clearly say that the person we lost mattered, their death matters, and somebody will be held to answer for it.
Federal and State law are filled with rules that companies need to follow to respect and protect all of us. Some companies take advantage of public ignorance by imposing unreasonable fees, shifting risk onto consumers, and bullying them. However, you don't have to stand up alone if you want to fight back.

Brilliant, caring and trustworthy. I went through a MVA, which ultimately led to undergo a bi-level cervical fusion surgery along with suffering from MTBI and PTSD. Life was not at its finest and I was going through some rough times. Austin really cared for my well being and as well as my best interest. He was there for me at all times, thoroughly answering any questions I had and keeping me updated of current status quo. I could not have asked for a better attorney. Thank you Austin.
“Honest and hard working. Mr. Ward was extremely responsive to my calls and questions, and obtained a terrific settlement for me.”
Over the course of Austin’s career he has been a part of over $100 million worth of successful settlements. Some examples include:
High-school football player wrongful death versus school district
Electrical worker wrongful death versus utility company.
