About Samuel Meklir

I always work hard to obtain the maximum recovery for my clients, whether that means negotiating a settlement or going to trial. My knowledge of medicine is crucial not only for physician and hospital malpractice matters, but also for educating juries on the severity, extent, and impact of each plaintiff's injuries and damages. For over 35 years, Sam Meklir has focused on representing plaintiffs seriously harmed as the result of defective products, auto accidents, birth trauma, fire and property loss, trucking accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice, construction accidents, and automobile negligence. He relies on his extensive knowledge of medicine to not only educate juries about the injuries a plaintiff has sustained, and what damages the plaintiff may be entitled to, but to discuss hospital and physician medical negligence. As a personal injury attorney who often works on auto and truck accident cases, Sam works closely with experts to investigate the data contained in vehicle black boxes, track down phone records, and build a personal history of all involved defendant drivers. This allows him to determine who the at-fault driver is and to piece together what happened prior to the actual accident. Attorney Meklir has appeared on television numerous times.
