Attorney Adam Lewis

Our team took on a case that other law firms turned down, knowing that we had the resources and patience to obtain justice for our clients. The case involved a serious plant explosion. Our legal team proved us right—after years of preparation, hundreds of depositions, and multiple appeals, our team achieved a massive $171 million settlement for multiple clients.

In 2004, Georgia-Pacific hired Aircon, Inc. to design and install a dust collection system to protect their Corrigan, TX plant from disaster. The system worked by taking highly-combustible dust from an industrial sander and carrying it to a baghouse where filter bags cleaned it from the air. This worked in conjunction with a spark detection and suppression system to protect the baghouse; this was designed and supplied by GreCon, Inc.

10 years later, on April 26, 2014, these systems utterly failed. Sparks went through the ductwork and entered the baghouse, causing an explosion and deflagration. Unknowingly, our client had been standing within range of the disaster and was engulfed by the fire. He suffered catastrophic, life-threatening burns as a result. However, despite this, our client worked to alert emergency services and even refused to leave for medical treatment until he had confirmed that his co-workers were being transported for medical care.

When he finally did leave, he was taken by life flight helicopter to a Tier 1 burn unit where his lengthy healing process began. By the time his trial had started, he had already undergone seven surgical procedures and was projected to receive multiple more in the future.

During the three week trial, they argued that the systems were unsafe and failed to meet industry standards. The jury deliberated and found both defendants negligent.

In the end, they awarded a record $39.744 million verdict for our client.
