Attorney - Samuel L. Davis Esq.

Founding Partner Attorney at Law    Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey Founding Partner Samuel (Sam) L. Davis, Esq., is a New Jersey personal injury lawyer certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney, a distinction held by fewer than 2% of New Jersey lawyers. He represents injured clients in all types of negligence matters throughout the State of New Jersey and other states, such as New York, as special pro hoc vici counsel. Many of Sam Davis’s personal injury cases resulted in multi-million-dollar settlements or jury verdicts. The New Jersey Law Journal, a weekly legal publication relied upon by New Jersey judges and attorneys since 1878, recognized Samuel L. Davis as achieving the highest reported settlement or jury verdict for the 2022-2023 court term. This marked the second time within a ten-year period that the New Jersey Law Journal recognized Sam Davis for the number one reported New Jersey injury settlement or jury verdict. Davis previously obtained this honor as lead counsel for winning a $14 million jury verdict for two sisters injured in a boating accident. More recently, in 2026, he won an out of court settlement of $27 million in New York, and in 2024, he successfully settled a medical malpractice case against a hospital and anesthesiologist for $11,500,000. His jury verdicts and out of court settlements include motor vehicle collisions, such as car and truck accidents; premises and security liability, such as slip trip and fall cases. He also has won cases involving construction site negligence, fire and explosions, medical malpractice, product liability, and boating accidents. As a son of a physician, Sam Davis has a unique understanding of injuries caused by trauma that include burn injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), neck, back and spinal cord injuries, fractures, and wrongful death claims. As an innovator in personal injury litigation, Davis adds value to his cases through the strategic use of still and video photography, together with animations and accident reconstruction experts to prove liability and damages. In 1998, Davis became the first known lawyer in America to have a wheelchair bound, paralyzed quadriplegic client testify via the internet in a live court proceeding. Davis later published an article titled “A Practical Guide to Video Conferencing” in Trial Magazine (2000), which was innovative at that time. Samuel L. Davis was among the first lawyers to use facial-aging technology to demonstrate how burn scars and disfigurement progress over time, strengthening proof of permanency and future damages.
