What We Do For You
Truth, Transparency and Accountability. These principles guide our law firm and are the touchstones of the mass tort and class action practice at Brockstedt Mandalas Federico, LLC.
Services We Provide
Mass tort and class action cases arise when a group of people are harmed or injured because a company chooses to maximize profits without concern for safety. These cases typically involve litigating claims on behalf of a group of people arising out of a single act or multiple events occurring over time. A benefit to handling cases on behalf of a group of people is the ability to build leverage and efficiently prosecute the case – quite simply, there is strength in numbers.
Why Hire BMF
One person can make a difference. One lone voice is powerful. And these cases always start with one person having the courage to come forward. However, we also understand how effective it is to have a single story told by many voices. At BMF, we listen, guide and lead our clients through these cases never losing sight of the benefit we were hired to achieve. Our track record speaks for itself:
- $205 million recovery in a groundwater contamination case
- $123 million settlement in a class action case involving pediatric sex abuse
- $103 million settlement in an air and water pollution case
BMF is currently litigating cases:
- Seeking clean water and remediation for the Salisbury community, which has been polluted for years by the Perdue AgriBusiness facility releasing dangerous “forever chemicals” into the groundwater.
- Fighting for justice on behalf of hundreds of veterans who lived and served at Camp Lejeune, the Marine Corps base in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
- Seeking clean water and remediation for property owners and two dozen water providers, including the Charleston County Aviation Authority (CCAA), which oversees three South Carolina airports, including Charleston International Airport, in response to groundwater contamination and community impacts caused by Aqueous Film Forming Foam.
