Eaton Fire and Hurst Fire Victims
Trial Attorney Mark P. Robinson, Jr. and Powerhouse Plaintiff Law Firm Robinson Calcagnie, Inc., Fight for Eaton Fire and Hurst Fire Victims
The Eaton Fire and Hurst Fire have devastated countless families, homes, and communities in California leaving victims with catastrophic financial, emotional, and physical injuries. Many wildfires are caused by the negligence of utility companies, corporations, or other entities. The attorneys at Robinson Calcagnie, Inc., stand up for the victims and fight to hold those responsible for such tragedies accountable so that the victims are compensated. At Robinson Calcagnie, we believe that accountability matters, and suffering deserves redress. In the face of corporate indifference to the devasting harm they cause, Robinson Calcagnie fights for the victims.
In prior wildfire cases, the firm has secured many millions of dollars in compensation for wrongful death, property loss and emotional distress injuries on behalf of fire victims in California.
“After suffering catastrophic losses, injuries, or the death of a loved one, people need someone to stand up for them, to go up against the big companies that inflict harm then refuse to take responsibility for the injuries and losses they cause. Throughout my forty-year career, I’ve stood up for these victims and made sure that the companies responsible are held accountable, and my clients are compensated for their injuries and losses. I’ll never stop fighting for my clients.” Mark P. Robinson, Jr.
Mark Robinson, Jr., founder and senior partner of Robinson Calcagnie, Inc., achieved fame early on his career as a trial attorney in the landmark Ford Pinto exploding gas tank case, Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, where the jury awarded $128 million in compensatory and punitive damages to his fire victim clients. The verdict was recognized by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as one of the ten most significant civil trials of the past millennium. The case is taught in law schools throughout California.
Mr. Robinson is a first-rate, masterful trial attorney and a champion for his clients. Just a few of Mr. Robinson’s jury verdicts include Echeverria v. Johnson & Johnson (2017). In that case, Mr. Robinson persuaded a Los Angeles jury to award $417 million to a single plaintiff that sustained injuries caused by talcum powder use. In Solorio v. Nissan (2016), a San Bernardino, Mr. Robinson persuaded the jury to award $46 million to a man who suffered serious leg injuries resulting in amputation. In Anderson v. General Motors, Mr. Robinson persuaded the Los Angeles jury to award $4.9 billion to fire victims. In Barnett v. Merck, the jury awarded Mr. Robinson’s client $51 million against the manufacturer of the prescription drug Vioxx. In Ketchum vs. Hyundai, a Los Angeles County jury awarded $15 million to Mr. Mr. Robinson’s client, a young boy paralyzed by a defective seat belt during a collision. Mr. Robinson’s client in Oliver vs. Nissan, was awarded $9 million by a Los Angeles jury. In Fair v. Ford, Mr. Robinson obtained a $12 million award in a wrongful death action arising from a post-collision fire.
