Wigington Rumley Dunn & Blair

What Wigington Rumley Dunn & Blair does

Wigington Rumley Dunn & Blair, operating as Wigington Rumley Evans & Blair LLP and doing business as "WigRum," is a plaintiffs' personal injury law firm founded in 2001-2002 and headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, with additional offices in San Antonio and Jourdanton. The firm represents individuals seriously injured or killed in preventable accidents, with concentrated expertise in automotive product liability (defective door latches, seat backs, tires, airbags), oilfield and offshore accidents, trucking and commercial vehicle crashes, industrial accidents, and environmental negligence and contamination. Its client base is exclusively individual accident victims and their families, and the firm operates on a contingency-fee basis, absorbing litigation costs and collecting only on successful resolution.

The firm's competitive position is built on a track record of four nine-figure jury verdicts against major corporate defendants, including a $225,000,000 verdict against Ford Motor Company (door latch case), a $124,496,993.97 verdict against Audi AG and Volkswagen Group of America (seat back failure), a $173,720,000 verdict against Southcross Energy Partners (pipeline explosion), and a $20,000,000 verdict (the largest in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma history) for victims of the 2018 Patterson 219 oil rig fire. Founding partners Jeffrey G. Wigington (recognized as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in the nation) and David L. Rumley (ABOTA member with 50+ defective tire cases) anchor the practice, with additional partners Ross Evans (San Antonio) and Trace Blair (Jourdanton) plus associates Jerry Guerra and David Bartholomew Waxman.

The business model is a sales-led, referral-driven contingency practice. The firm acquires work through (a) direct plaintiff intake via a toll-free number, free consultations, and three Texas offices, and (b) a national network of referring attorneys who collaborate as co-counsel on significant product liability and mass-tort cases. Marketing relies on national media exposure (60 Minutes, The New York Times, USA Today, CBS News) and a verdicts-rich website functioning as a credibility catalog. The firm is privately held as a Texas Limited Liability Partnership with no external investors, no public financials, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A or funding activity.
