Even before NAFTA (the North American Fair Trade Agreement), Matamoros, Mexico boomed as factories migrated from the U.S. But the new industry brought many problems including over-crowding, water shortages, poor sanitation, and pollution.
Across the border, in Brownsville, Texas, sixteen families who had anencephalic babies -born with brains only partially developed or no brain at all -decided to take action. They wanted to file a law suit against 88 maquiladorns in Matamoros, factories that use raw materials from the United States and cheap Mexican labor to produce goods that are then shipped back across the border.
A major law firm involved in the matter put out a call for help. They needed a lawyer who was licensed to practice in Texas with extensive experience in personal injury claims. The Haymond Law Firm was the perfect choice.
Haymond's lead attorney on the case was formerly Board Certified as an Expert Personal Injury and Civil Trial lawyer in Texas and had handled thousands of personal injury claims. Perhaps one of the greatest highlights was a case that resulted in the highest personal injury award in San Antonio, Texas.
The Haymond Law Firm investigated the factory in Mexico and met with representatives for the plaintiffs, the defendants, and the court. He continues to oversee the progress and activities of the on-site legal team.
This professionalism is typical of the way clients are served by the Haymond Law Firm.
