We also represent plaintiffs in matters involving motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip-and-fall, aviation and maritime accidents, wrongful death, and other personal injury cases. We operate throughout the country, as we have long-established co-counsel relationships with leading firms located in nearly every state.. As a plaintiff trial attorney, Tom Young has been at the forefront of some of the Nation's worst disasters, including assisting those affected by the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon blowout and oil spill. There he successfully represented several Gulf Coast Area chambers of commerce opposing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and British Petroleum's Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States.. In addition to his work at the Supreme Court, Tom represented hundreds of individuals, businesses and governmental entities against BP, and he has been successful in recovering tens of millions of dollars for these clients, both through the Court Supervised Settlement Program and in MDL-2179.. In late 2015 Tom was appointed by a federal magistrate judge to represent over 200,000 plaintiffs in an allocation proceeding involving a $1.24 billion settlement with Deepwater Horizon contractor Halliburton and rig owner Transocean. There he secured over $300 million for class clients.. More recently Tom was retained by Hillsborough County, Florida to pursue losses associated with Volkswagen's fraudulent emissions cover-up scheme. He also represents Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the City of Miami, the City of Tucson and several other large cities and counties across the country seeking to recover damages from opioid manufacturers and distributors.. Tom and his team have a comprehensive understanding of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, federal and state unfair trade practices laws, and other environmental legislation and regulatory schemes. As a result of this experience, Tom is well versed in complex, plaintiff-focused multi-district litigation practice.
