Terry L. Cochran is a highly accomplished personal injury attorney dedicated to representing individuals who have suffered serious injuries. With years of legal experience, he has successfully handled cases involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and loss of earning ability. His practice areas include auto accidents, worker’s compensation, product liability, and wrongful death claims. He has built a reputation for securing significant verdicts for his clients, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.

Terry earned his B.A. with the highest distinction from Wayne State University in 1980, ranking in the top ten percent of his class. He then pursued a J.D. from Wayne State University Law School, graduating in 1983. The same year, he was admitted to the Michigan State Bar and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In 1992, he expanded his practice by gaining admission to the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.

His ability to secure justice for injured clients has led to remarkable trial outcomes. Notably, he won a $12 million verdict against the Tuscola County Road Commission in a highway design defect case. In another case, he secured over $600,000 for a client despite the insurance company’s initial low settlement offer of $90,000.
