In the year 2000, the lawyers at Laird, Baker & Blackstock represented clients receiving verdicts and settlements in excess of $10 million.

When insurance companies have tried to settle fraud cases in class actions for a few dollars per claim, Laird, Baker & Blackstock has successfully represented their clients by opting them out of class actions and achieving settlements many times greater than they would have received in the class action. In one such case in 2001, the firm represented 47 clients who opted out of a class action settlement. The 47 clients represented by Laird, Baker & Blackstock received a total settlement of $1.8 million, while those who remained in the class action received a few hundred dollars.

Help for the Helpless

We know that when you have been injured, you need the best help you can get because your future may depend upon it. The big corporations and insurance companies who may be responsible for your suffering are almost never willing to step forward and do the right thing.

Laird, Baker & Blackstock is a firm that is not afraid to take on the largest of companies. They have sued and tried cases against such companies as R & B Falcon (now owned by Transocean), Diamond Offshore, Lloyd's of London, and Ford Motor Company. We have never represented the insurance companies - and we never will.

We will work hard to achieve the best possible verdict or settlement possible. A fair settlement is no accident.
