Benjamin M. Salyers
Ben has been in private law practice from the very beginning, learning his craft and developing court and trial experience handling a wide array of civil and criminal matters. From the outset, however, Ben had a particular interest in helping injured workers and accident victims obtain their own justice by helping them in their time of need. The life-altering impact of a work or other injury fits well with Ben’s view of the world and empathy for those that are least able to withstand such a set-back. Therefore, as Ben’s career has progressed, he now focuses primarily on his personal injury and workers’ compensation practice.
Ben has helped many people receive the financial and medical help they sometimes desperately need – whether due to a work injury or the negligence of another. His work has resulted in a wide range of achievements for his clients – from successfully forcing insurance companies to pay for denied medical bills and procedures, to multi-million dollar resolutions for those suffering life-altering injuries. Ben takes particular pride in breaking down complex factual and legal scenarios and then acting on an aggressive plan to move his clients’ matters to a successful outcome. He has a diligent and focused mindset, which he uses to carefully examine his clients’ issues from the outset, and then formulate and execute a strategy unique and fitting to each case. This allows him to fairly resolve many of his clients’ cases by fair settlement, without having to file a lawsuit. However, sometimes litigation is necessary to fight for what is fair. Ben is no stranger to the courtroom, with extensive litigation experience - including complex matters with multiple parties, witnesses, and legal issues.
Ben is married to his love, Bren (yes, that’s right – Ben & Bren), who has given him a son, Charlie.
