Settlements & Verdicts



The Cochran Firm is committed to representing Plaintiffs in civil cases. We are proud to represent clients who have been seriously injured by the negligent, careless, or reckless conduct of someone else or some other entity, such as in automobile accidents, explosions, construction accidents, medical malpractice, or other types of injury or death including: Clients who have been seriously injured as a result of an unreasonably dangerous or defective consumer product or machinery; clients who have been defrauded and suffered substantial financial injury as a result of that fraud; victims of toxic exposures to harmful chemicals, or victims of industrial accidents.
