Bill Winingham has helped persons harmed by others during his entire 25-year legal career. Whether assisting crime victims as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and state court prosecutor or representing those seriously injured due to negligence or dangerous products, he has always been on the side of those who have suffered from others' misconduct. His emphasis in civil litigation has evolved to include vehicle accidents, fires and explosions, products liability and cases against insurance companies for their lack of good faith in settling claims.

Bill was recently appointed by a federal judge to be liason counsel for the plaintiffs in the Firestone/Ford multi-district litigation. He coordinates activity between hundreds of attorneys and serves on the Plaintiff's Executive committee in this nationwide products liability case. His accomplishments were also recognized by the Indiana Trial Lawyer's Association in the form of the 2002 Indiana Trial Lawyer of the Year award.
