Robinson Calcagnie, Inc., a powerhouse Southern California plaintiffs’ law firm, is representing victims of the Eaton and Hurst fires against Southern California Edison. The firm has secured millions in compensation for wildfire victims suffering wrongful death, property loss and emotional distress injuries in previous cases throughout 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,” said Mark P. Robinson, Jr., founder and senior partner of the firm.
“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,” Robinson added. “I’ll never stop fighting for my clients.”
Robinson gained national recognition early in his career as lead counsel in the landmark Ford Pinto exploding gas tank case, Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company. The jury awarded $128 million in compensatory and punitive damages to his fire victim clients, a verdict with lasting significance.
The Association of Trial Lawyers of America recognized the Ford Pinto case as one of the ten most significant civil trials of the past millennium. The case is now taught in law schools throughout California as a pivotal moment in product liability litigation.
Within the last decade, Robinson Calcagnie has recovered substantial settlements from utility companies such as Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric for victims of California wildfires. The firm maintains a focused litigation strategy against these public utility companies in wildfire cases across the state.
Robinson’s track record includes numerous high-profile verdicts, including $417 million in Echeverria v. Johnson & Johnson for talcum powder injuries and $46 million in Solorio v. Nissan for serious leg injuries resulting in amputation. In Anderson v. General Motors, Robinson secured $4.9 billion for fire victims.
Other notable victories include $51 million against the manufacturer of the prescription drug Vioxx in Barnett v. Merck and $15 million for a young boy paralyzed by a defective seat belt in Ketchum vs. Hyundai. The firm also secured $9 million in Oliver vs. Nissan and $12 million in a wrongful death action in Fair v. Ford.
