A Lawyer that Cares Enough to Fight for Your Rights Areas We Serve

Areas We Serve

Cornell Injury Law is a personal injury firm built on a simple idea: every client deserves to be treated like a person, not a file number. 

Attorney Danny Cornell brings more than 30 years of legal experience and has recovered over $100 million for injured clients. However, before he was a lawyer, he was a pastor, and that calling still shapes how he practices law today. 

Danny listens first, builds a strategy around what actually matters to you, and stays personally involved in your case from the first call through resolution.

What We Do

We represent people who've been seriously injured through someone else's negligence, including car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, negligent security, premises liability, and other personal injury and wrongful death claims. 

We also help clients apply for and appeal Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income claims. Additionally, we represent clients in criminal defense. 

Whatever brought you to us, our approach is the same: a personalized strategy, direct communication with your attorney, and an action-oriented approach to protecting the evidence and building the strongest possible case.
