Christian Coppinger
Christian Coppinger is a medical malpractice, personal injury, and tort litigation attorney with extensive trial experience. He represents plaintiffs and their families, often under difficult circumstances, and aggressively prosecutes cases on their behalf. He recognizes that negligence frequently occurs due to systemic deficiencies within institutions or a simple lack of care by individuals—failures that can result in life-long, permanent injuries to innocent people. Victims of negligence and carelessness need highly skilled, effective representation, and Christian Coppinger and Awad & Baker Law are committed to standing up for them. He zealously advocates for clients to ensure they receive due justice under the law, with the goal of achieving the maximum value of recovery through settlement or trial.
