When I was injured in a car crash, I was a college student. I hired a law firm that never returned my calls. As we were approaching the statute of limitations, they sent me a letter saying they were no longer going to represent me. I called David at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. He was on vacation at the time but still set up a consultation with me. Instantly, he recognized what I needed to do to get my case back in order. David guided me step by step and we built my case up. I know that his partners, Joel and Ben were also involved in strategy meetings trying to make sure they could help. After months of litigation, they were able to get me an incredible result. They were supportive but decisive on what needed to be done on my case. The turnaround in my case was tremendous and I urge everyone injured in a car accident to call them immediately!

I had the privilege and honor to be referred to Attorney David Eder. I was involved in a five-vehicle accident and was rear ended by a commercial truck at about 50 mph after I had come to a complete stop. It took the truck driver over a year to accept liability. David Eder graciously took my case and jumped in even after two other lawyers didn’t think I needed their services for my personal injuries sustained. David Eder and his team (Ben Eder and Joel Sturm) prepared the case from day one as though we were going to trial. They are very efficient, assertive, and responsive even before and after business hours. They really fight for your rights, and they make sure that you do not lose even one penny for your pain and suffering. I am pleased and feel very blessed with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend David Eder and his team. I would have not been able to win or get the desired outcome without their assistance. I will be eternally grateful for their service and representation!

When my daughter was injured in a car crash 2 years ago, I didn't know what to do. I spoke to friend who was a police officer and he told me the best lawyer he knew was David Eder from Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. We reached out and he met with us right away to inform us what to do next. He fought hard for my daughter and was great about setting up meetings to keep us informed. He was very kind, quick to reply and very promt with every step. He took the time to have after hours meetings with our Dr's and came to some of our apts with us to make sure we were getting the best care. I highly recommend David!!!

After I was hit by a vehicle and was discharged from the hospital, my daughter called some fellow lawyers to find the best lawyer possible to help me. I am so glad I called David at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. He took my call when he was on vacation, answered emails at night and worked tirelessly to make sure I was fairly compensated for my injuries. He battled the negligent driver's insurance company, my insurance company and negotiated many of my medical bills. I would highly recommend anyone injured to call him and his firm."

I had never been injured in an auto accident before. All I knew is that I was injured and it was recommended I call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. David was my primary lawyer but Ben and Joel also worked on my case. At first, Geico was unwilling to pay on my claim because I did not treat at the start of Covid. My lawyer filed a lawsuit and fought for me. In the end, I was able to get the care I needed and Geico folded. I am really glad I called this firm.

After I was in an auto accident I reached out to a friend that was a police officer. The officer stated that I should call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. At the start of the case, the insurance company was trying to put fault on me, and I had a complicated case. David, Ben and Joel worked tirelessly to prove the insurance company wrong. They got the insurance company to accept 100% responsibility, answered all my calls, and completely protected me in negotiating a very favorable settlement. I wish I would have called them earlier. They completely turned my case around, took away the stress, and got me far more money than I would have imagined for my injuries. These are true professionals!

At first, I thought I wasn't sure I needed a lawyer. Once I learned I was going to need surgery, it was highly suggested I find a good lawyer to help on my case. Looking back, I should have called Thuemmel Uhle & Eder right after the crash. The insurance company challenged whether the need for surgery was necessary. Simultaneously, they tried to say my surgery needs were pre-existing. David Eder filed a lawsuit and litigated the case aggressively against the insurance lawyer. Ben Eder worked with me on my deposition preparation and Joel Sturm worked on the medical reviews. After we won, they worked to lower my bills and never stopped fighting for me. If I ever need a lawyer again I know where to turn.

I hired David Eder at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder after another lawyer recommended him. I was struck and injured by an uninsured motorist, and needed help navigating the legal process with my own insurance company, as I had no previous experience in these matters. David, with the assistance of his peers Ben and Joel did a thorough and efficient job of reviewing and responding to all matters related to the case both with the insurance and courts. They got my insurance to pay the full policy amount to cover my medical bills and ensured that all parties were paid in a timely manner once the settlement was reached. I really couldn't give higher praise for the rapid responses and clear information I had available throughout the process. Thanks for a positive and quick resolution to what was truly a life altering event for my family!

"I called David at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder after I was injured in a car crash.  David explained how the legal system would work and I could tell he and his firm were experts in their field.  All lawyers in their firm (David, Joel and Ben) worked on my case.  They did not push me off to a paralegal.  They were kind, confident and aggressive in their fight for me.  My case resolved and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome.  I would recommend anyone injured in a car crash to call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder as soon as possible."
