About

A Lawyer for the People From a young age, Derick had a strong sense of empathy and a passion for justice. He watched as a negligent store got away with giving his father a lowball offer of only a few hundred dollars to settle a slip and fall case. Derick’s father was optimistic about his recovery and didn’t want to get lawyers involved, but he needed back surgery a year later and never got the compensation he deserved. Seeing the store’s risk management strategy pay off stuck with Derick. He knew other innocent injury victims could be taken advantage of in the same way. This experience shaped his drive to get justice for working-class families, inspiring him to become a voice for others who feel powerless in a confusing legal system that doesn’t prioritize their rights. In 2021, Derick was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star. He has won millions of dollars for his clients, and he’s only just getting started. Derick's passion for leveling the playing field and commitment to achieving powerful results both inside and outside the courtroom have brought outstanding outcomes to his clients’ cases. The attorneys at Runion Personal Injury Lawyers handle all personal injury cases, including: • Car crashes • Truck wrecks • Motorcycle collisions • Rideshare collisions • Injuries on properties • Wrongful death • Dog bites • And more Like all the attorneys at Runion Personal Injury Lawyers, Derick is committed to helping his clients get better, get compensation, and get justice in his case. Schedule a free consultation with him today to discuss your legal options. In his free time, Derick enjoys spending time in nature. He also loves cooking for his friends and family.
