Class Action / Mass Tort

Class action and mass torts cases are, by their very nature, large, complicated, and extremely expensive to bring to court.  These cases involve a tremendous amount of preparation and strategic planning, to achieve a successful outcome for the multiple clients.

 

We have been involved in numerous, successful mass “toxic torts” cases involving groundwater and airborne contamination by chromium, cement dust, TCE, and other cancer causing chemicals.  In several cases, entire towns have been involved.  In others, local neighborhoods near polluting factories have been contaminated.

 

Sometimes, the source of the contamination seems a mystery because the polluting factory is long gone and only the contamination has been left behind.  Other times, the pollution is obvious.  Generally, in all cases, the results are the same: cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other debilitating diseases.

 

In representing our clients, we have successfuly brought suit against some of the largest and well-funded corporate defendants in the country.

Our firm has represented literally thousands of seriously injured people or the families of those who have unfortunately died as the result of the negligent, reckless or intentional conduct of others, or from dangerous products.

Bad faith cases arise in several all too common forms. The first, called a first-party case, is where your insurance company fails to do what you paid them to do. 

Medical malpractice does occur and people are hurt or killed as a result.  That is the simple fact.
