Attorney Jody McKnight Meets With Every Client

The McKnight Law Firm is a smaller “boutique” law firm that battles hard and gets great results. We handle less than 100 cases at any given time, by design. We carefully select the cases we take on. Jody McKnight speaks with and meets every person who the McKnight Law Firm represents. It is this personal relationship with every person represented by the McKnight Law Firm, that allows us to understand the depth of your harms and losses.

How Can We Help?

  • Incidents Involving Injuries, and Various Harms and Losses

    If you or a family member has suffered injuries and/or other harms and losses due to the negligent or reckless behavior of a another, the McKnight Law Firm can help you. Jody McKnight has over 30 years of serious personal injury, complex litigation, trial, and appellate court experience. The McKnight Law firm focuses on past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, loss of earning capacity into the future, loss of enjoyment of life, alteration of lifestyle, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and any other harms and losses you have suffered.

  • Access To Quality Medical Care

    If you or your family member don’t have medical insurance or money to pay for medical treatment, we can help you! We will assist you in accessing the very best medical treatment in orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, physical therapy, or chiropractic through our direct relationships with health care providers, or through medical funding companies, who partner with us to ensure our clients get the very best medical care they need to address their auto collision related injuries.

  • Serious, Permanent Injuries Involving Future Medical Needs

    Should your injuries be serious, permanent injuries, involving future medical care, we will work with your physicians, and likely employ a Certified Life Care Planning expert, who will meet with your doctors and document your future medical needs and the future medical care expenses you can reasonably expect to incur in the future.

  • Serious Disability and Loss of Earnings and Earning Capacity

    It’s not unusual matters involving permanent, lifetime injuries, for a person to undergo significant wage-earning loss while they are out of work. Many people are unable to return to their normal occupation, which can be devastating. In matters involving loss of earnings into the future, we employ an economist, who determines how much it will cost in present day dollars to compensate you and your family, for your lost earnings into the future, or the lost earnings of a loved one whose life was cut short due to the negligence of another person or corporation.
