For more than thirty years, personal injury attorney Todd Tracy has recovered major financial damages for his clients as a safety watchdog over auto manufacturers.

Mr. Tracy prides himself on standing up for car accident victims who lost their lives or suffer from traumatic injuries that require lifelong care.
