Laura H.

When our mother was hospitalized for an accident, we were unprepared for the turn of events which would befall our family. Following her hospitalization, a series of negligent acts by the hospital staff, unrelated to her accident, led to our mother’s quickly declining health. Due to the mounting medical expenses, we sought legal assistance. Several attorneys had been recommended to us, including Andy List. We felt very fortunate that Andy chose to help us. He assembled a team of experts for our case.
Since we had not experienced it before, navigating the legal process was initially very intimidating for us. Andy patiently listened to our concerns and offered the time and consideration needed to understand our situation. Throughout the process, he explained the legal system in a way that was understandable to us. Although our mother’s medical situation was stressful, Andy guided us and treated us with kindness and dignity.
Thanks to Andy and his team, the legal outcome was in our favor. Our family is so grateful. Our mother continues to recover and the financial burden has been lifted. Andy renewed our faith that the legal system can be fair and equitable. I highly recommend Andy and his team to anyone needing legal assistance.

Vern J.

Today is a gift…largely due to Andy List and his team. After a sequence of errors was made by the hospital, which resulted in a stroke, I sustained ongoing physical and cognitive deficits. These deficits required months of hospitalization, followed by ongoing therapy. As we started to receive medical bills from the hospital, we questioned the hospital regarding their error. The hospital denied any responsibility for their multiple errors. We knew how difficult and intimidating it was to challenge such a large medical institution, so we began to search for law firms. Andy List came highly recommended. We are so fortunate and grateful to have Andy List and his colleagues represent us. Andy and his team have a true compassion for their clients. They are incredibly knowledgeable, communicative and efficient. Thanks to Andy and his team we received a significant settlement, which absolutely would not have happened without them. I would highly recommend Andy List and his colleagues to anyone who is in a medical malpractice situation.

Barbara List L.

Our son suffers substantial disabilities, and his condition has resulted in discrimination. We were pleased to consult with Clark, Perdue & List on the complex issues that impact our son's quality of life and his ability to contribute to the community. The attorneys are professional, knowledgable, and willing to answer our many questions, address our concerns, and help us navigate a very challenging path. I will be seeking their counsel in the future.

stacy B.

Wonderful experience. Professional, caring, and top notch firm.

Jasmine B.

I was involved in a head on collision on the day of my 19th birthday and my high school graduation. When someone first brought up getting a lawyer I was very hesitant, but after working with Julie and Andrew all my nerves went away. They heard everything I had to say, and if I ever had any questions, big or little they would answer them for me. They care deeply about the individuals they are representing. I would recommend them to anyone!

Sarah A.

After the loss of my father, my mother faced numerous long-term care issues. The lawyers at Clark, Perdue, and List helped us through the process. They were efficient and thorough in helping us navigate issues and situations we had never previously encountered. I highly recommend the lawyers at Clark, Perdue, and List.

Jamie H.

I have been associated with this wonderful firm for several years and I cannot express enough the wonderful service we received. The cases were painful at best, but the passion and compassion shown by this firm is over the top. They care about you as a client; they care about your case; they care about the outcome; and they care about your involvement in the case. One of the most important things I have found is they keep you informed and always have the time to speak with you regarding the case. Thanks for the wonderful representation over the years.

Dorothy C.

I have known the members of the Law Firm for over 15 years.
Years ago, my elderly mother-in-law needed legal advice when she felt she had not been properly treated in a medical sense. The family wasn't sure what to do to resolve this matter.
It was then that I met with Andy List, who gave us the guidance we desperately needed, which in turn, helped to put our emotions in perspective.
The matter was resolved in a positive manner, which makes me suggest Clark, Perdue &List to others in need of proper and thorough legal assistance. I still keep in touch with them to this day, for they are very true to what they advertise to be; and will always be respected by our family.

Shelly H.

Back in 1989 I was involved in a life threatening auto accident while on my way to school. While I was still in the hospital, my parents met with Dale Perdue and hired his law firm to take my case. Mr. Perdue and the rest of his staff were so helpful to me, as well as, my family during this difficult time. They guided us through the process and were always happy to help us with any questions or concerns. In 2011, my husband was in a life threatening auto accident. While I was sitting in the hospital wondering what to do, I thought, “Call Dale”. Within a few hours, he was sitting by my side. Once again, he walked me and my husband through another very difficult time. Dale, Pam, and the rest of his staff have been a very big part of my life and have always felt like an extended part of my family. I have recommended Dale and his staff to friends through the years and will continue to do so.

Don F.

It was with some reluctance that I began the process of considering the pursuit of a wrongful death claim against a pharmaceutical company on behalf of my Mother's estate. I was not sure how to proceed. Thus I began the process of looking at various web sites for various legal firms, and followed that with several phone calls. When I called Clark, Perdue and List Co, LPA I was treaded with a kindness, courtesy, and professionalism that seemed to be a cut above the rest. Linda, the Paralegal I most frequently communicated with had exceptional legal knowledge and skill. She had the ability to explain in an extremely clear manner the answers to all my many questions. The staff was very thorough in obtaining all the records and information needed to support the claim.
The lawyer I dealt with, Andrew List, certainly went above and beyond the call of duty in effort and completion of meeting all the requirements and deadlines the court placed on this type of claim. I was frequently updated regarding the process of the case.
Clark, Perdue and List Co, LPA far exceeded my expectations in bringing to a successful closure this case. It is with great confidence and respect that I would highly recommend this legal firm.

Diane S.

When my mother fell and broke her shoulder a few years ago, my sister and I entrusted her rehabilitation to a local nursing home. Unfortunately, one of the employees at the facility was negligent in my mother’s care and caused further injury to her shoulder, causing her to return to the hospital for further surgery. When I learned that an investigator from the Attorney General’s office recommended that criminal charges be pressed against the individual, I knew that I also needed to pursue the matter civilly to ensure that my mother was compensated for the injuries caused by that negligent employee. A friend of mine recommended Andy List, and from my first telephone conference with him, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Andy took care of everything to prepare this case for a potential trial against the individual and the facility, and then acted as a skillful negotiator in obtaining a favorable settlement for my mother. I am forever grateful to Andy and his assistant Linda for helping our family through this very difficult time.

Understanding Truck Accident Claims in Columbus

Truck accident claims differ significantly from standard auto accident cases. They often involve federal regulations, commercial insurance policies, and multiple liable parties. Because of this complexity, having a knowledgeable legal team ensures your claim is handled correctly from the start.

Investigating a truck accident requires access to detailed records such as maintenance logs, driver schedules, and black box data. These elements can be crucial in proving negligence. Our attorneys know how to uncover and leverage this evidence effectively.

In many cases, trucking companies and insurers attempt to shift blame or reduce compensation. This is where experienced legal representation becomes essential. We advocate aggressively to protect your rights.

Compensation in truck accident cases may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs. We ensure every aspect of your loss is accounted for.

Acting quickly after an accident can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Early legal involvement helps preserve evidence and strengthen your claim. Our team is ready to step in immediately.
