What is the difference between complex civil litigation and complex commercial litigation?
While both complex civil litigation and complex commercial litigation involve intricate legal issues, they differ in their scope and subject matter:
Complex civil litigation encompasses disputes among individuals or entities concerning non-commercial matters. These might include environmental issues, class actions, personal injury claims, and more. Complex commercial litigation pertains to disputes arising out of commercial and business relationships. Issues can range from intellectual property disputes, antitrust violations, breaches of contract, business torts, and more. Such litigation often involves understanding intricate business dealings and financial data.
In both categories, the depth of legal knowledge required is immense. However, the contexts and stakes differ, underscoring the need for specialized legal expertise tailored to the nature of the dispute. If you’re in search of legal expertise, call us at 1-800-THE-FIRM or fill out the contact form at cochranfirm.com/!

CORRECTION: Darden Family Demands the Return of their Stolen Ancestral Land, Mineral Rights and Wealth Union Country, AR: The Darden Family, descendants of “Old Joe”, a formerly enslaved man from Union County, Arkansas, are fighting to restore their rights to their ancestral land and the interest gained from it. The generational wealth due to them was stolen in the 20th century by lawyers who were charged with helping Old Joe’s descendants determine rightful heirship and distribution amounts. Instead, the rapacious attorneys preyed upon Old Joe’s descendants, by colluding with the government and oil companies, binding them to unjustifiable contracts. “The lawyers, who were charged with defending the JW’s heirs’ rights nearly eight decades ago, preyed on the Black family instead, and now receive more royalties than any of his kin. This injustice cannot be allowed to continue any further,” says Kavon Ward, Founder and CEO of Where Is My Land and Justice for Bruce’s Beach. The ancestral land in question was bought by Jim “JW” Edwards, one of Old Joe’s sons. By the end of his life in 1946, JW had accumulated 417+ acres of both acquired and inherited land and was rumored to be the wealthiest man in Arkansas, a remarkable feat even by today’s standards. However, he and his wife, Ida, left no children behind- leaving the children of his half-siblings bore by his Father, “Old Joe” and his two enslaved wives as heirs. The Darden Descendants are descendants of “Old Joe” and Patsy Gant Edwards. Attorneys cunningly wrote contracts that allowed them to walk away with 99% of both the Susan Wroten and Patsy Gant line’s interest in JW Edwards’ land, money, and mineral rights. The royalties granted by the attorneys are nearly 1200% times more than what the heirs receive themselves. Instead of working in the best interest of JW Edwards’ heirs, attorneys preyed upon them, stealing the promise of generational wealth afforded to them by their ancestors. “The systemic racist laws and good old boy network allowed for the theft of our inheritance. The Darden’s were targeted and treated less than human, for no other reason than being BLACK,” decried Kimberly Ann, a direct descendant of JW Edwards. # # # Support the Darden Descendants Sign the petition!

Did you know that there are about 3,000 train accidents that result in about 1,000 deaths each year?
Most train accidents tend to be more severe than car accidents due to the size and speed of the train. Even a “minor” incident that involves a train can cause catastrophic injury or death due to the massive size and weight of the locomotive. Train accident lawsuits are complicated, often involving multiple responsible parties and train accidents are subject to different laws, standards, and statutes of limitations than most vehicle accident lawsuits.
A train accident can affect one person, such as when someone slips off a platform and is run over by a train, or it can affect an entire community such as with a toxic chemical spill. Types of train accidents include railroad crossing accidents, derailments, and no-collision accidents.
If you have been injured due to a train accident and plan to file a personal injury claim, do it fast! Because transportation via train or commuter rail lines are public forms of transportation, they have deadlines for claims to be filed. Call us TODAY at 1-800-THE-FIRM to speak with one of our personal injury lawyers!

Civil Rights are protections that are created by law to shield individuals from unlawful arrest, excessive force, discrimination, suppression of speech, and the violations of other freedoms. These protections are meant to ensure that individuals receive equal treatment under the law and that they are protected from illegal government actions. Civil Rights apply to a wide range of issues including police misconduct, employment discrimination, fair housing, voting rights, and a variety of other topics.
Civil rights provide protections for not only our African-American brothers and sisters but for every person no matter their race, creed, nationality, or religion who has been victimized by police misconduct, wrongfully convicted, unfairly treated at work or in any other arena where there has been a violation of a person`s rights. The Cochran Firm has built and maintained its reputation as a leading Civil Rights law firm by successfully representing hundreds of people who were injured and/or killed by police.

Section 8 Housing plays a pivotal role in providing affordable, safe homes for individuals and families with limited financial resources. Property managers and landlords who participate in the Section 8 program must meet certain legal requirements to ensure that their properties are safe and habitable. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to penalties, suspension from the program, or even legal action.
Tenants living in Section 8 Housing have legal rights to safe and sanitary living conditions. If tenants believe their housing does not meet these standards, they can take various steps such as contacting the property manager or landlord, reporting conditions to local public housing authority or HUD office, and/or seeking legal assistance from organizations that specialize in housing rights if issues persist.
Exposure to hazards like gas leaks, chemicals, and mold can be extremely harmful to families, particularly children as they can potentially lead to respiratory issues such as asthma. If you or someone you know feels they have been neglected or wronged while living in Section 8 Housing, the trial lawyers at The Cochran Firm are ready to fight for you!

The Mirena IUD, a once-promising medical solution for women seeking long-term birth control, has found itself at the epicenter of heated legal battles. The contraceptive device has sparked widespread discussion due to reported serious side effects, leading individuals to question the responsibilities of medical device companies.
Recent data shows that between 2015-2017, an estimated 14% of women ages 15 to 44 who use contraception opted for an IUD with its usage being 60% higher among women ages 25 to 34 compared to those aged 20 to 24. Potential side effects of the Mirena IUD may include abdominal or pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, headaches or migraines, acne or skin problems, breast tenderness, and mood changes, among others.
Over the years, a substantial number of women have reported serious complications due to the Mirena IUD, prompting them to take legal action. Bayer Pharmaceuticals has faced numerous lawsuits concerning the Mirena IUD since the early 2010s. Thousands of women allege the device caused severe injuries, notably organ perforation and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) - a condition leading to fluid buildup near the skull. In 2017, Bayer proposed a $12.2 million settlement for organ perforation claims, covering an estimated 4,800 plaintiffs. These cases were settled the following year.
Individuals who believe they`ve suffered due to Mirena have the right to file lawsuits. However, establishing a clear connection between the injuries and the device is crucial. Given that many of the Mirena cases have faced dismissals, potential plaintiffs should be prepared for an extensive legal battle. In such intricate matters, aligning with a reputable legal firm like The Cochran Firm can make all the difference.

“A Black family and a group of their prominent Black friends were celebrating a birthday at a home in Forest Hills when they were hosed down by an angry white neighbor and threatened with a German Shepherd, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month by Derek Sells and Mina Malik of The Cochran Firm New York.”
“The nine-course dinner party was catered by Vanessa Cantave, the winner of the reality show ‘Rocco’s Dinner Party’ and was attended by many prominent figures in music, business, and law.”
“The group of friends, which included dinner party host Dr. Yves Duroseau, the first doctor to receive the COVID vaccine, a Dept. of Justice civil rights attorney, Department of Homeland Security administrator, CEOs, entrepreneurs, record company executives and public defenders, all gathered in the backyard garden of the home on Saturday, September 17, 2022, and were getting ready to wrap up a dinner party around 10 p.m. when their hosts’ next door neighbor sprayed them numerous times with a water hose over the fence.”
“‘I was appalled and outraged to see water hoses and German shepherds being used against people of color in New York City in 2022. I was in complete disbelief.’ -Mina Malik.”
“Malik added that everyone who attended the party was left, ‘deeply scarred’ by the experience and ‘felt degraded and humiliated and made to feel like they were no longer human.’”

When faced with intricate legal dilemmas, such as the property ownership complexities stemming from wildfire damage, the involved parties are faced with a crossroads on how best to resolve their differences.
Traditional litigation in a court of law might be a natural course of action for many. However, considering the time, emotional strain, and financial costs associated with traditional litigation, some may seek alternative resolution methods. This is where avenues such as arbitration come into play.
Understanding the distinction between arbitration and litigation is fundamental in the realm of dispute resolution:
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where parties voluntarily decide to resolve their disputes outside of court. An arbitrator, or a panel of arbitrators, is appointed to hear the arguments and render a decision, which can be binding or non-binding, based on the agreement of the parties. Litigation refers to the process of taking legal action, involving a plaintiff and a defendant, to enforce or defend a legal right. This process unfolds in a court of law, overseen by a judge, and may lead to a trial.
While both are dispute resolutions, arbitration is typically more cost-effective and faster. However, unlike judgments in litigation, arbitration decisions are often final and have limited scope for appeal. With its structured legal processes, litigation allows for more extensive exploration into legal issues. Decisions made in court can also be appealed.
In deciding between arbitration and litigation, parties must weigh the benefits of speed and cost against the value of extensive legal examination and the possibility of appeal. To learn more about litigation and arbitration, read our latest article “What is Complex Litigation” at https://tinyurl.com/4d2xcecw!

“Randal Quran Reid, a 29-year-old Black man, was wrongfully arrested and held for about a week in jail due to the misuse of facial recognition technology nearly a year ago. Quran was driving to a relative’s home just outside of Atlanta when he was pulled over by Dekalb County police officers claiming that he had two outstanding warrants out of Jefferson Parish. Unknowingly, Quran asked where Jefferson Parish was, as he had never heard of that county. He was told that it was in Louisiana, which confused Quran more as he had never been to Louisiana. Shortly after, Quran was taken to a Dekalb County jail, where he was held for nearly a week for his extradition.”
"I asked them why I was being locked up," Quran said. "`What is it even saying that I did?` And then they just kept telling me that it was out of their jurisdiction, and they didn`t really know."
“Gary Andrews and Sam Starks of The Cochran Firm Atlanta, who are representing Quran, recently announced that they had filed a lawsuit on Quran’s behalf.”
“The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s office used facial recognition technology to wrongfully identify Quran as a suspect accused of using stolen credit cards to purchase thousands of dollars’ worth of designer bags in Louisiana, according to the complaint filed.”
“The lawsuit was filed on September 8th, 2023, and accuses the wrongful use of facial recognition technology by a sheriff’s detective in Louisiana for the ordeal. This technology allows law enforcement to put images from video surveillance into software that can search databases and social media platforms for possible matches.”
