Overview

Cara J. Luther has played an integral role in the legal representation of many commercial transportation and mass disaster cases over the past 20 years of practicing law at Wisner Baum.

In addition to transportation litigation, Cara has also handled defective pharmaceutical product liability cases.

After graduating with a biology degree from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro where she focused her studies on medical technology, Cara became a medical researcher. Her experience left her intimately familiar with medical documents, which has proven to be valuable in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases.
