Mission Statement
At McCartney Stucky, we seek justice for people who have been catastrophically injured or have lost loved ones due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of others. With over 40 years of combined trial experience in courts across the United States, our attorneys attack every case with the skills and knowledge necessary to staunchly protect the rights of our clients. The vast majority of our cases have been sent to us by other lawyers. We are the people that other lawyers trust with their toughest cases.
Our clients are our top priority. We strive to maximize our clients’ recovery so that, to the extent possible, they can get back to living their lives. We treat our clients with respect and take an honest and sincere interest in their lives so that we can properly represent who they are to a judge and jury. Our goal at McCartney Stucky is to make life easier for our clients while holding the people, or more often corporations, accountable for the harm they have caused them.
McCartney Stucky attorneys are not afraid to work hard for our clients. We integrate tried and true litigation practices with cutting edge technologies and techniques, thereby pursuing justice in the most effective and efficient manner possible. At the conclusion of our representation, we want every client to know that we did everything we could to protect their rights and get them the recovery they are owed.
Our attorneys specialize in complex personal injury and wrongful death cases, particularly those caused by defective products. Founding partners Terry McCartney and Chris Stucky are widely considered among the very best plaintiffs’ attorneys in the specialized field of heavy truck crashworthiness litigation. Their wealth of experience and industry knowledge in this area is unmatched and creates a distinct advantage for clients injured by a defective heavy truck. In addition to heavy truck crashworthiness, McCartney Stucky attorneys are also experienced in handling cases in automotive product liability, consumer product liability, trucking negligence, premises liability, medical malpractice, machine defects and auto accidents involving severe injuries.
At McCartney Stucky, we utilize our trial experience and understanding of the law to obtain justice for our injured clients by holding wrongdoers accountable for their actions and obtaining full and fair compensation for them. We love being trial lawyers and helping people who have been wronged – that is our mission.
“After I suffered a life-changing injury at work and went to McCartney & Stucky, I just wanted to be treated fairly and with respect by the legal system. Knowing they couldn’t restore my physical state, Terry and his firm provided me and my family with the best legal representation available. They also gave me the confidence that my case was being properly handled at all times. McCartney & Stucky helped me get my life back.”

"Terry represented myself and my two young children in a case involving the tragic death of my young wife at a New York City gym. After meeting him for the first time, I knew our case was in the right hands. His unique combination of empathy and legal acumen allowed us to traverse a fairly complicated case to a successful result. At this point in my life, I have had the opportunity, both personally and professionally, to deal with quite a few different attorneys in various roles and I can state this unequivocally: Terry is simply the best of the best."

When I was injured my life was turned upside down overnight. I went from a promising professional career to not being able to take care of myself. I was sick, in pain and brought to my knees in despair. I learned of Austin from a trusted friend and reached out to him. After meeting him and Chris, the culture of their practice was clear. They are honest, sincere, compassionate and the type of people that you just like to be around. I was never afraid to call either of them and left every conversation feeling comfortable and reassured. When it was time for them to dig in and do the work, they were thorough, efficient, thoughtful and steady. I now have my life back and the peace-of-mind they won for me is irreplaceable.

“After my spinal cord was severed in an automobile accident Terry and his colleagues have expertly managed my claim against the car manufacturer. Shortly after the accident I moved from NY to CA and Terry has handled the remote interaction seamlessly. He has promptly responded to all of my inquiries, managed and coordinated the litigation in a professional manner and managed my interaction with all manner of experts perfectly. I give Terry my 100% recommendation.”
