With more than 35 years of experience representing plaintiffs who have sustained serious personal injuries or financial losses, the trial lawyers of BIREN|KATZMAN have successfully handled hundreds of cases, collecting more than $250 million for our clients. The following case is just one example:
DOE V. ROE MANUFACTURING CO.
$2 Million To Man Sustaining Brain Damage From Argon Gas
John Doe and two co-workers entered a subterranean furnace pit to do some repair work. The first man down the stairway collapsed. The plaintiff, thinking that the man had had a heart attack, rushed down the stairway to rescue him, only to also collapse.
BIREN|KATZMAN proved that Argon gas had leaked from the furnace into the furnace pit and because there was not proper ventilation, had displaced the oxygen. Because the gas was not odorized and there was no gas accumulation warning system, the workers had no way of knowing the danger they were entering.
Our client suffered hypoxia, ultimately resulting in blindness and cognitive deficits. The case settled with the company that designed and built the furnace pit and with the company which failed to odorize the Argon gas for a confidential amount in excess of $2 million.
