Hurricane Katrina Damage Claims must be filed by August 28, 2006.
The firms of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar; Shernoff, Bidart & Darras;
and Casey, Gerry, Schenk, Francavilla, Blatt & Penfield LLP
have joined forces with Steigerwalt & Associates to fight for
the rights of the victims and the families who have been devastated
by the widespread destruction caused by hurricanes Katrina and
Rita. The firms are renowned national leaders in victim advocacy
and disaster litigation, with years of combined success in ensuring
that the victims of natural disasters and other calamities receive
the assistance that they need in order to rebuild their lives.
Shernoff, Bidart & Darras leads the nation in protecting policyholders
from insurance company abuse and set the legal precedent that requires
insurance companies to act in good faith. From William Shernoff's
settlements with European insurers over Holocaust-era life insurance
claims to Mike Bidart's groundbreaking victories over HMOs and
property insurers who denied claims made by California Earthquake
victims, the attorneys have been prosecuting unfair insurance practices
for over a quarter of a century. Shernoff Bidart & Darras continues
their fight for disaster victims of the 2003 Wildfires in California,
whose claims have been wrongfully denied.
Partners Russ Herman and Steve Herman of Herman, Herman, Katz & Cotlar
successfully completed a marathon jury trial with an extraordinary
verdict awarding damages of almost $6 million against the Tobacco
Industry for approximately 500,000 smokers in Louisiana – believed
to be the first case to impose damages against the industry to
pay for cessation programs and has been hailed by healthcare experts
as a giant step toward saving countless lives from tobacco related
deaths.
The attorneys of Casey, Gerry, Schenk, Francavilla, Blatt & Penfield
LLP have extensive experience in protecting the rights of victims
of widespread calamity, including representing the San Diego unified
school district to recover insurance benefits following extensive
damage caused by fires and creating a special program to compensate
victims and their families affected by 911. Founding partner Richard
Gerry is best known for his involvement with the Exxon Valdez oil
spill litigation, where he was one of four trial attorneys who
obtained a $5 billion settlement, the largest punitive damages
judgment in the U.S. at the time.
