Our trial attorneys who represent injured victims in tort cases are led by partner Eric Chaffin, who is a former federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice. One of the life experiences that makes Eric an effective trial lawyer is his own personal experience with his father, who died at age 54 from lung cancer that developed largely from asbestos exposure. Eric and his family pursued a case against nearly 85 asbestos manufacturers whose products his father was exposed to from 1968 through 1999. As Eric explains, "Once you have walked in the shoes of a family who loses someone from asbestos exposure, you no longer have to imagine what your clients and their families are going through when they are victimized by dangerous products. You understand their concerns, interests and needs because you have been there. As an attorney, it also makes you better able to explain to a jury what the victim and his or her family are experiencing."
Eric Chaffin is one of many well-qualified and highly experienced trial attorneys at BL. Our team also includes in-house and outside investigators, some of whom are former law enforcement officers, that work with our attorneys to develop the facts and evidence in our cases. Mr. Chaffin is currently leading a number of litigations, including our team of denture cream lawyers in lawsuits against GSK and P&G over zinc poisoning from denture cream.
