Recognized as One of the Best
Throughout his career, David W. Craig has handled cases against trucking and other commercial vehicle companies nationwide, in states such as Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee and Iowa.

He believes the best way to obtain full value for his clients is to prepare every case for trial.
David has been selected to the Top 50: Indiana Super Lawyers and chosen as a Super Lawyers Honoree every year since 2011. He was named a Top 100 Trial Lawyer and Top 10 Trucking Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers and previously received the Litigator Award for Truck Accidents.

Commitment to the Community
Like his partners, David is very grateful for his firm’s success and strongly believes he has an obligation to give back to the communities in which he practices. The firm hosts safety events where they teach and demonstrate the dangers of sharing the road with semis. He is a tireless advocate against distracted driving, and he offers demonstrations using a state-of-the-art simulation machine the firm owns to teach teens and others the dangers of texting and driving, drinking and driving and distracted driving. David has personally championed the cause of bike safety for children, giving away over ten thousand free bike helmets throughout central and southern Indiana.
David also enjoys working with kids. He coached and served on the Board of Directors of Lawrence Township’s boys basketball league for over 10 years.
Dedicated to Making a Difference Outside His Firm
David believes that knowledge is power, and he is dedicated to informing the public on safety issues; red flags when picking an attorney; the ins-and-outs of fighting trucking companies, shippers, brokers, construction zone contractors and others. He hosts a free podcast, After the Crash, and has written two best-selling books, It’s Never Been Easier to Hire the Wrong Attorney and Semitruck Wreck: A Guide for Victims and their Families, which can be downloaded for free here.
