Biography

Stephen Murray is an aggressive trial attorney with nearly a decade of civil litigation experience. He started his legal career with an insurance defense firm based out of Chicago for 7 years. During that time, he started a legal consulting group where he continues to handle pre-litigation and litigation matters in most of the larger states including California, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, Texas, and New York. He is also Of Counsel at three law firms (2 in North Miami Beach and 1 in Southern California) where he handles a large volume of civil litigation (Product Liability, Premise Liability, Car Accidents, and Workers Compensation) matters exclusively on the plaintiff side in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri.

He also runs his own practice, Ironclad Injury Law, LLC, where he focuses on representing individuals in high-value injury claims in Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.

He is an out-of-the-box thinker and litigator, focusing on his clients' human story. He believes that getting to know his client's as individuals helps him tell their human story and how their injuries have caused their life to change forever. He focuses more time than most trial lawyers gathering evidence and proving up non-economic damages.

He is also admitted in United States District Court Northern District of Iowa and Southern District of Iowa.

He and a partner are currently in the development stage of a tech venture based out of Delray Beach, Florida. It is a communication and social media gig economy platform for industry experts to assist those that need quick answers to challenging or expert-required questions.

Stephen started a successful e-commerce business in 2016 and sold it in 2023. Prior to law school, he worked as a pharmaceutical sales rep for two years in both Boca Raton, Florida and Chicago, Illinois.

Q. i need second oppinion about my workers comp case
A: You should speak to your attorney.
Q. Can I file a lawsuit against a vape company from when I got pneumonia a couple years ago? March 2022 to be exact.
A: Likely no, even if the SOL hasnt tolled, it's a super weak claim. To pursue this kind of case, you would likely need to show that the vape product was defective in some way (e.g., contained harmful chemicals or wasn’t properly labeled with health warnings) and that this defect directly caused your pneumonia. Necrotizing pneumonia is serious, especially in someone your age, and if there is a connection between your illness and the vape product, you might have a case under product liability or negligence law.

However, these types of cases can be complex. You’d need strong medical evidence linking the use of the vape product to your illness, as well as documentation of the harm it caused (hospital records, medical bills, and expert opinions). You might also need to show that the vape company failed to warn consumers about the potential risks of using their product or that the product was unreasonably dangerous.

It’s important to consult with a personal injury or product liability attorney who specializes in cases involving defective products or dangerous consumer goods. They can assess your medical records, the timeline of events, and whether there is sufficient evidence to build a strong case. Since this happened in March 2022, you should also keep in mind that statutes of limitations apply, meaning there’s a time limit for filing a lawsuit. In most states, that time limit can range from 1 to 2 years for personal injury cases, so acting quickly would be important to preserve your rights.

Q. My husband was injured on a machine that is manufactured in China. They ignored the 10 day default notice what happens
A: I’m really sorry to hear about what you and your husband are going through. It sounds like a deeply frustrating and overwhelming situation. When a foreign manufacturer ignores a default notice, like the one you sent to the Chinese company, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to give up. It’s true that pursuing compensation from foreign companies can be complex and challenging, but it’s not impossible. Your lawyer should be considering all available avenues, including going after any U.S. distributors or suppliers, or exploring whether the machine's importers or sellers can be held liable under U.S. product liability laws. If your lawyer is out of his depth, it may be worth getting a second opinion from a firm experienced in handling product liability cases involving foreign companies.

Your husband’s injury has clearly impacted your financial stability, and that's another angle your lawyer should be pushing—focusing not just on the injury but also on the loss of income and the effect on your quality of life. If your current lawyer isn’t pursuing every possible option, it might be time to seek out a legal team that specializes in complex cases involving international manufacturers and personal injuries. There may be additional resources or programs to help with your immediate financial situation too, such as local aid or worker's compensation, depending on how the injury occurred. Don’t give up yet—sometimes a more experienced lawyer can find a path that others may not see.
