I’ve sat across many tables across from a grieving mother, a grieving widow. They had just gotten a phone call that their husband was killed, their son was killed, on the job and no one is giving them answers.
One of the hardest things about grieving, of coming together as a family, is trying to figure out exactly what happened. What went wrong and why. Our job is getting into those investigations to make sure the evidence isn’t tampered with or destroyed—to make sure that the truth eventually comes out.
I can’t bring their son back, but I can make sure that his death is not in vain.
The way we do that is making sure that the company can’t cover it up. By trying a case and shining a light on their conduct, it guarantees that what they have done wrong is made public and that there’s repercussions and there’s consequences when you cut corners and you kill people.
When you hire a lawyer, you need someone who knows what they’re doing, who can get in there and make sure that your rights are protected.
Part of bringing a lawsuit is to say “This is not okay. You will not do this again. We will hold you accountable.”
Our firm has recovered billions of dollars for our clients. More than one billion dollars in just the last year.
Cases on behalf of our clients have resulted in a change of policy or procedure because companies only understand the bottom line—and when they get hurt in the bottom line, they change their behavior.
Following the Deepwater Horizon disaster, we got a phone call from one of the widows who had lost her husband and didn’t know what to do, didn’t know where to turn. I literally hopped on the plane and said “I will be there in the morning because it is this important to me that I meet you face-to-face.” We found out the truth about what happened and how the company played a role and all of the roles they played in causing the incident. She trusted us to fight for her. As a result, she got the largest settlement in U.S. history for somebody killed offshore.
We have won some of the largest wrongful death verdicts and settlements across the country. We’ve helped families in their lowest times. If you think you need help, call us. Let us help you.
