Brian Reddy, Mark R. Baran, and Donald J. Kral (Harvard Law) have held those corporations, hospitals, insurance companies, and individuals accountable by recovering significant funds for victims of negligent acts in confidential settlements for wrongful death, brain injuries, and other injuries to union railroad workers, construction workers, automobile drivers, truck drivers, patients hurt by medical malpractice, patients hurt by nursing home negligence, passengers injured in automobile accidents, and motorcycle drivers.

We understand that no amount of recovery will ever undo the damage and pain caused to our clients. We strive to uncover all facts relevant to corporate accountability to avoid future preventable acts of harm to another individual or family.
