About
For almost 40 years, Joseph "Buzzy" Joy has been practicing plaintiff personal injury law and bringing to trial those cases where a reasonable settlement offer was not given by the defendant insurance company. Mr. Joy's trial record is exemplary in that he has received million and multi million dollar jury verdicts in medical malpractice and maritime accidents. Mr. Joy has also been able to settle cases for well over $1,000,000 involving 18-wheelers, car accidents and environmental damage caused by oil companies. Mr. Joy is one of the only attorneys known in the United States to have successfully sued a doctor retained by the defendant insurance company to perform an insurance evaluation causing injury to Mr. Joy's client. This physician was sued and brought to court and a jury returned over a $1,000,000 judgment in favor of Mr. Joy's client due to the negligent evaluation caused by the insurance doctor in delaying surgery and terminating longshore benefits. This is the first and only cae of its kind. In fact Mr. Joy was interviewed by Date Line 20/20 for this accomplishment. Mr. Joy is also believed to have been the first attorney to successfully represent a Jones Act seaman when he picked up 135 pounds and injured his back. The Court found that 135 pounds was too much for a seaman to handle alone and therefore, set legal precedence that if a seaman if injured while lifting 135 pounds or more alone, there will be Jones Act negligence and unseaworthiness. Mr. Joy has dedicated his life and legal career in making life better for those who have been negligently injured through no fault of their own by negligent oil companies, corperations, insurance companies and individuals.

Joseph Joy represented me as if l were part of his family. He went above and beyond I think what lawyers do for clients. I don't only consider him a good attorney, I consider him family.
I was injured in 2013 due to an inattentive driver resulting in serious injuries to my back and neck. Having young children wife to support, I was terrified that without being able to work we may lose our family home, and so much more. Fortunately, I found Mr Joy's firm who rapidly got me help in obtaining the proper medical help necessary to diagnose and treat my injuries. When I was not able to return to working after the medical care he made certain that the responsible parties paid out close to the maximum amount available. I can not say enough about the wonderful people that work with Mr. Joy's practice. also. I can not see how a person can possibly go wrong by hiring the Joseph Joy law firm to aid them in a personal injury claim and would recommend them to anyone. Mr. Joy and his firm made the best of a bad situation for me and I will remain grateful.
