Victims of corporate negligence or bad actors often feel powerless and small. But they simply need the right people in their corner—a team whose significant resources, technical and scientific knowledge and experience level the playing field. Most importantly, people who will commit to them, become a part of their community—and who only get paid if they do.
Granted, money can’t replace everything these corporations have destroyed. But it can pay for critical things such as medical testing, relocation, or the installation of water purification and filtration systems. And especially because each lawsuit raises the legal consequences for repeat offenders, our efforts serve as a powerful deterrent to the specific company as issue, and entire industries as a whole.
What we See on the Horizon
Continuing Deregulation of Industry, and Loss of Both Funding and Political Appetite for Agency Action
- This renders pharmaceutical and environmental watchdogs rendered less effective—placing individuals and communities at greater risk for injury
Continuing Attacks on the Applicability of Previously Enacted Protections
- We’re seeing increasing challenges to regulations’ applicability, binding nature and force of law
- Our society is slipping back into the early 1900s—in terms of environmental and consumer protections
- Add to this entirely unregulated emerging business types and technologies—like AI (powered by giant warehouses creating massive amounts of potentially toxic/contaminated wastewater byproducts)
- The private civil justice system will be the only remaining means of achieving justice
The Reason Plaintiffs Hire Us
Awareness and prompt action are key. Pharmaceutical issues or disasters develop differently but, on the environmental front: Do you live near a factory or industrial component of some kind, and are an unusual number of people in your community getting sick? Have you and your neighbors noticed a new and unusual environmental condition, e.g., an odor, sheen on the water, residue on your cars?
As the clock starts ticking the second you should be on notice that a corporation might be responsible, whether you’ve contacted a lawyer or not, take that first step and reach out. While we focus on pursuing cases that have a strong chance of success, please know that your questions and concerns are always welcome. You’re never bothering us, and we’ll never make you feel anything less than supported and respected.
- Someone willspeak to you and hear your concerns.
- When appropriate, our next steps are public investigation and then, possibly, private testing.
- Once a viable case has been confirmed, and certainly in the event of an explosion or other immediate disaster, we will come to you and stay with you for the long haul.
- Other plaintiffs’ firms may descend and stay a week—before their town halls turn into virtual town halls that become letters and then, quickly, just emails.
- Our clients welcome us into their communities. They know who we are, and in some cases even stop by our tables to chat at the diner.
- However large these types of cases can become, we never forget that they are made up of individuals, and act accordingly.
