Testimonials

I hired Brian after I was hurt on an offshore oil platform. The company wasn't taking care of my medical care and I was losing a lot of money not being able to work. Brian was able to get the company to pay me a large settlement in less than 12 months. I would recommend Brian and his law firm to anyone who needed a good injury lawyer, and especially to any offshore worker who needed someone who knew how to beat the offshore companies in Court.

After my two-year old son was killed by an 18-wheeler driver and me and my daughter were badly injured, we hired Brian and Vuk to represent us on the recommendation of another lawyer.

This was the hardest time in our lives and it was great knowing we had you there to represent us.

I was hurt on an offshore oil rig. I was unable to work or get proper medical care from the company. I was referred to Brian by another law firm because that law firm knew Brian helped workers with offshore injury cases. Brian settled my case in less than 12 months. The settlement will enable me to take care of my family financially and get back on my feet. I would highly recommend Brian and his law firm to any injured worker.

Freddy N., Lufkin, Texas
I was hurt on a boat offshore. Brian and his law firm worked hard on my case. They helped ease my concerns and stabilized my world when it was very uncertain. Brian stepped in and made everything go as smoothly as possible. He got me the medical attention I needed as well. The settlement he got for me will take care of my financial needs for the rest of my life. If you are looking for someone to take your interests at heart Brian and his law firm can give you the attention your case deserves.

Firestone settles case with paralyzed college student alleging defective Firestone tire caused crash

According to published reports, Firestone has settled a case with a college student who was paralyzed after his Firestone tires detreaded.

The college student had purchased a remodeled SUV from a seller who equipped it with four Firestone radial tires. The front left tire detreaded, and the vehicle rolled over and crashed.

The student sued Firestone, alleging products liability claims and failure to warn of the dangers of aging tires. Evidence showed that the tires had been made by Firestone in the first several weeks of 1990 and then stored in air-vented storage until being installed in the vehicle in 2005.

The case settled for a confidential amount.

The picture to the left shows an example of a safety feature (a belt wedge) that many tire manufacturers either do not use or don't use enough of in order to save money and increase profit (and increase the dangers to their customers).
