About Cross and Smith

In personal injury cases where the plaintiff recovers significant damage amounts (in the millions), punitive damages may be involved. Still, it’s worth noting that punitive damages are rather uncommon in the personal injury context, as the defendant’s conduct must be malicious or egregiously reckless such that the court feels punitive damages are appropriate in the circumstances. Mere negligence is not enough for a court to award punitive damages. For example, if a driver is briefly distracted on the road and causes an accident, it is unlikely that punitive damages will be awarded. On the other hand, if a driver is racing his friend on a local road (driving more than 100 miles per hour in a residential area) then the level of recklessness may be enough for the court to award punitive damages.

    Cross & Smith were very thorough with our case and didn't miss a single detail. ​Their communication was awesome—they always kept us in the loop and made sure we knew exactly what was going on the whole time, which took away a ton of stress. Best of all, they really fought for us and got us some great settlements. ​Huge thanks to the whole team!

    These lawyers are amazing. Compassionate and caring for their clients. Also the staff is amazing. My attorney was Dell Cross not only was he an amazing lawyer but also an amazing human being.

    I cannot say enough positive things about Dell Cross and his associates. They were very diligent in terms of getting everything settled. They were very friendly when I had questions, when I called they were tentative to answering any questions I had and/or returning my calls. I could tell immediately I made the right decision as they were very knowledgeable and organized, and valued my time and tr
