18-wheeler Accidents – Representing the car driver: While technically not a mass tort case, these are fairly specialized accidents and there is a lot of advertising surrounding them which can be confusing. The key is to make sure that counsel is aware of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, technology, business practices, insurance coverages, and to have the ability to discover written and electronic records and have the resourced to obtain expert testimony and to litigate until the case is tried or settled. It isn’t just the non-trucking public that is affected. Truck drivers are engaged in hazardous work and when their equipment is not properly maintained, they can be the victims too.
Heavy Truck Product Liability Claims – Representing the Trucker: Tractor trailer and other heavy trucks are not required to contain many of the same protections for occupants as smaller passenger cars. They can contain dangerous defects putting the truck driver or passengers at risk of serious injury or death. These trucks many times have particularly weak roofs that crush in rollovers. The passenger compartments are often not protected by effective cab guards, and this allows loads to shift into the truck cab. We would like to review any case involving catastrophic injury or death
False Claims Act / Whistleblower- These are claims of fraud against the government ranging from Medicare/Medicaid to military contracts, and any other type of fraud involving a government contract. Under the False Claims Act (FCA) the whistleblower is entitled to a percentage of the recovery. Common schemes involve double-billing for the same service, inaccurately coding services, and billing for services not performed. Closely related are claims of Health Care Fraud which can overlap.
Antitrust – We can help with claims related to the violation of federal and state antitrust laws which can arise from a wide array of anticompetitive conduct, including illegal tying of products and services, exclusive dealing, monopolization, and price fixing.
Other Non-mass tort cases:
I have mixed feelings about the amount of attorney advertising that I see. There are good and bad attorneys who do advertising, but in the end it is just advertising. I’d be glad to share my thoughts on any attorney to the extent I have one and if you’re looking for the right attorney, I’d be glad to give the benefit of my experience.
Product Liability-example Defective Tires – If someone is hurt by equipment failing, it is not always obvious, but several firms specialize in the investigation of these types of failures and have extensive engineering expertise on retainer in order to investigate them. One good example is Tire Failure. Tire failure is one of the great hidden causation issues. Tire failure can come from old tires that are sold as new. The one big issue if you want to avoid this is to make sure you have newer tires on your vehicles which means finding the manufacturing date on the tires you put on your car. If you think an accident involved defective tires or tires that failed for unknown reasons, then this is an area worth investigating. Once the defective product makes it into a class, it becomes critical to file or you might end up in the situation of gm plaintiffs who ended up cut out of the settlement because of a bankruptcy or a class action deadline.
On-the-job Product Liability - Many times product claims arise from workers compensation claims. After we investigate the circumstances that caused the injuries, many times we discover a defective machine may be the cause of the injuries.
The world of mass lawsuits can seem confusing and for many who have been affected, the remedies have been sporadic. I personally was visited by three major mass torts over the last 10 years. The first was Katrina and the wind vs flood cases. The second was the Chinese drywall litigation. The third was the bp oil spill which was reall
The world of mass lawsuits can seem confusing and for many who have been affected, the remedies have been sporadic. I personally was visited by three major mass torts over the last 10 years. The first was Katrina and the wind vs flood cases. The second was the Chinese drywall litigation. The third was the bp oil spill which was really a result of the combined fault of several entities.
You may be the first to point out liability. Don't be afraid to share your knowledge if you become aware of something dangerous or harmful. A single individual was responsible for the tobacco litigation and they saved many lives. Equally important, people now know what they are getting into, for better or worse if they chose dangerous conduct relative to dangerous products where brave people stepped forward to make sure they were informed.
For all of these cases it was important to do several things. Among those: 1) get in the case early; 2) keep up with the case and stay involved in the prosecution of the case as much as possible and 3) be patient, but stay informed. THERE ARE TIME LIMITATIONS FOR FILING CLAIMS SO ACTING QUICKLY IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
