The Yancey Law Firm is committed to making the community where its clients live and work, a safer place. As part of its efforts, The Yancey Law Firm represents people who have been injured by other people’s choices to ignore rules that exist to keep people safe. The Yancey Law Firm always strives to provide the best legal services possible to its clients.

Since 1996, The Yancey Law Firm has represented many people who have been injured or killed as a result of someone else’s fault. The Yancey Law Firm has handled injury cases related to working offshore in the oil and gas industry, 18 wheeler crashes, car crashes, airplane/helicopter crashes, drilling rigs, tugboats, supply boats, jackup boats, diving vessels, derrick barges, pipe laying barges, industrial/refinery explosions and other industrial casualties, defective products, including defective medication and exposure to chemicals in the work environment, including asbestosis (which causes mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer). In almost every case, the injury (or death) was preventable if the defendant party in the case would have followed the safety rules that existed to protect our client, which in almost every case could be you or me.
