North Charleston Personal Injury Lawyer
Overview
Mr. Joye is a seasoned trial lawyer who has represented plaintiffs injured from defective products, car crashes, tractor trailer collisions and falls. In 1997, Mr. Joye represented the parents of young Sergio Jimenez who was killed when ejected from the rear of a Chrysler minivan. The case of Jimenez v. Chrysler resulted in a 262.5 million dollar verdict for his client. At that time, it was the largest verdict ever returned against an automobile manufacturer and still remains the largest verdict in the state. The case brought national attention to the Joye Law Firm and renewed pressure against Chrysler Corporation to fix its unsafe rear door latches of its minivans.
Mr. Joye grew up in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. He and his wife, Melissa, have two children. His recreational interests are hunting, boating, skiing, and golf.
