John P. Kolb

For an injury victim weighing options in San Antonio, John P. Kolb offers something relatively rare: a quarter-century track record you can actually measure. Kolb practices with Davis Law Firm, a Texas injury practice serving San Antonio, Austin, and communities across the state, and he brings more than 25 years devoted almost entirely to personal injury, workers’ compensation, and civil litigation. Over that career he has resolved more than 1,000 claims and recovered upwards of $35 million for the people he represents.

The numbers behind those totals are specific. His largest recovery, $10 million, came in a products liability action against a major vehicle manufacturer after a rollover killed one woman and injured another. He secured $2 million for a worker who injured both feet falling from a metal roof, $1.15 million for a worker whose neck was hurt when a commercial overhead door came down on him, and $1 million for a woman who needed leg surgery after colliding with a semi-trailer. Substantial six-figure recoveries fill out the rest of his record — $820,000, $600,000, $525,000, $500,000 and beyond — spanning premises hazards, construction site accidents, defective products, and roadway crashes. What emerges is not one lucky verdict but repeated wins across very different injury scenarios.

Kolb graduated magna cum laude from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 1994 and built his early courtroom reputation in Illinois, where he won appellate decisions in the First and Second Districts of the Illinois Appellate Court and handled a heavy caseload in Cook County and its surrounding collar counties. He is authorized to practice before all Illinois state courts, the federal district court for northern Illinois, and the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, and he has held memberships in the Illinois State Bar Association, the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Bar Association. He has also been named to the National Trial Lawyers Top 100.

Kolb is a strong match for injury victims whose cases fall outside the standard rear-end collision mold — falls, defective equipment, workplace accidents, and product-defect claims, which are harder to prove and which his record shows he wins consistently. If your injury involves a dangerous property condition, a machine that failed, or an on-the-job accident, his history of six- and seven-figure results in exactly those situations deserves a close look. Davis Law Firm offers free consultations and handles injury cases on contingency, so nothing is owed unless the case succeeds.
