Firm Background:
Attorney Deena Buchanan has handled trucking crash cases, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and employment cases in more than 20 jurisdictions. As former Big Law and in-house counsel to a Fortune 500 company, she traveled the country advising corporate executives and litigating large-dollar disputes for insurance companies and large corporations. After seeing some very sad results in tragic cases, she left her defense career to represent real people and their families. Now she teaches other lawyers about how to take on these big companies using her training and experience from the other side.
She has a personal, as well as professional, understanding of personal injury claims, having been a victim of someone else’s negligence herself.
Deena is board-certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy in trucking crash cases, making her one of the first few women in the nation to achieve that honor. In 2024, Deena was elected to the American Association for Justice Trucking Litigation Group Executive Board, which oversees motor-carrier and owner-operator liability legal matters in accordance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. The group also provides members with the necessary resources to successfully litigate trucking accident liability cases. Deena is also on the Board of Regents for the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys and on the Executive Board of the American Association for Justice Employment Rights Litigation Group.
Deena has served as trial counsel on a number of high-profile, complex cases, including wrongful death and catastrophic injury claims. She’s a highly respected trial attorney, earning praise from clients, colleagues and judges for her skill in the courtroom.
Deena spends her free time with her family unwinding in the beautiful outdoors—hiking, skiing, scuba diving, and photographing nature.
