The "Away Games" in Mass Tort Litigation
Many highly successful plaintiff lawyers develop practices that often require
no more travel than it takes from their office or the closest jurisdictional
courthouse. However, with law firms such as our own, that have sought
to fight injustice at the highest corporate echelons across the country
and succeeded, the reality of having to fight malfeasance on the enemies
“home turf” often becomes a reality. As this office prepares
to wage a passionate and righteous war against one of the largest insurance
companies in the country, our lawyers are getting emotionally prepared
to live out of suitcases and hotel rooms for several months in anticipation
of a case we all feel extremely passionate about. The thought of being
away from home for significant periods of time is at once daunting and
also exciting. This type of travel can be taxing, but can also be more
stimulating than running back and forth to district and circuit court,
day in and day out for years. One is obviously no better than the other,
but we chosen to “go to the fight” in some cases whether it
requires extensive travel and the sacrifice of “home” or not.
For the time being, there is a buzz in the air that maybe be similar to
playing a championship game on your opponents “home field”,
an “away game”. Either way, we are getting psyched and fired
up as preparations are being made to bring justice to a large group of
undeserving victims of corporate injustice, racism and corruption in another
state. Let the games begin!
