Class Actions

Our firm is an experienced leader in the handling of class action and mass tort litigation.  Both federal and state judges have appointed members of the firm to represent plaintiff interests in such cases.

Our attorneys have been successful as class counsel in cases arising out of chemical releases, train derailments and environmental catastrophes, including the recent settlement of a class action involving the spill of one million gallons of crude oil at the Murphy Oil Refinery in Meraux, Louisiana. 

We also have been Court-appointed to represent plaintiffs in pharmaceutical liability litigation such as the Vioxx case, and in pending litigation against the Corps of Engineers and other defendants based on flood damage following Hurricane Katrina.
    
Our goal for our clients, either as individuals or as members of a class action or mass tort case, is to obtain adequate compensation for the damages they've suffered, and to discourage or terminate the wrongful conduct causing such damages.
