Happy Birthday to our Founding Partner, Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr.!
To celebrate this year, we would like to share an excerpt from the May/June 1999 issue of the NAACP’s Crisis Magazine which featured Mr. Cochran on the cover. In the article, Mr. Cochran described the driving force behind his work and advocacy, and the legacy he left for his partners in The Firm.
“I’m relentless in my pursuit of justice. I’m not here for a popularity contest. At the end of the day, I want to make a difference in my community. I’m liked in some quarters and disliked in others. I want things to be better for young kids. I don’t want my kids to be targeted with racial profiling. I don’t want them to be stopped (by the police) because they are black. I live by the credo that this is not a dress rehearsal; this is the real thing. I’m standing on the shoulders of all who went before me, like Thurgood Marshall, Charles Hamilton Houston, and Henry Hastie, all those people who came out and saw the law as a tool to change society. I can’t do anything less than to do my part. The others that come behind me, we have to keep on doing this, because we have to make America realize some of its promise. It’s not about being comfortable personally. We have to put something back. There’s the quote ‘To those whom much is given, much is required.’ I’ve been blessed with much and I have to put something back, so I don’t care what adversaries think. They have a fierce adversary in me, and if we have to go to war, then we have to go to war.” - Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr.
Today we celebrate the life and tenacity of our founder. Happy Birthday Johnnie!

Back injuries are some of the most frequent personal injury cases that stem from a variety of different accidents ranging from car accidents to slip-and-fall accidents. Back-related injuries can be as minor as a strain or sprain to as serious as a spinal cord injury or paralysis, needing care from a specialized physician. Oftentimes these back injuries end up taking away the ability to participate in everyday activities, such as work, resulting in the loss of a steady income.
There are many types of back injuries that can occur; however, one of the most frequent back injuries treated by spine physicians is “low back pain” or “LBP”. There are several factors that can lead to low back pain, including but not limited to:
- Low back strain or sprain
- Fractures
- Protruding disc
- Surgical errors
Compensation for back injuries can be based on two different factors of the claimant, economic and non-economic losses. Economic losses are the definite out-of-pocket loss due to the injury and can include: past and future medical bills or lost income and reduced earning capacity. Non-economic losses are based on pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of partnership. These losses become complex when awarded to a claimant because they are not easy to capture with a dollar amount.
At The Cochran Firm, our experienced lawyers are ready to help take the stress off of you and take the lead on personal injury cases to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve! Call us today at 1-800-THE-FIRM for a free, no-obligation consultation!

In the case of hit-and-run accidents, drivers must remain at the site of the accident in every state in order to assist other people hurt in the incident and exchange contact and insurance information. In addition to facing a legal lawsuit for a car accident, drivers who do not stop might be prosecuted in court.
While hit-and-run accidents may include two or more vehicles, they may also involve pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, parked cars, and other objects being struck before the driver takes off. According to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020, more than 2,500 individuals were murdered by hit-and-run drivers, a 26% increase over 2019.
It is common to want to find the driver if you were hurt in a hit-and-run. Only if you locate the hit-and-run drivers can you make them liable for their crimes and the resulting damage. However, no matter how anxious you are to find the offender, you never want to pursue a hit-and-run driver as it is very dangerous. It is best to request assistance from the police.
Unfortunately, If you can`t find the driver, you will most likely have to rely on your own health and car insurance to cover some of your expenses. You may also be able to make an uninsured motorist claim if you have the coverage.
Each state requires drivers to carry insurance. Most states adhere to the "at-fault" system, which requires the at-fault driver to pay for accident-related losses through liability-based auto insurance. Of course, the at-fault driver`s insurance company won`t pay you if you don`t know who is at fault. In an at-fault state, you will, therefore, likely have to rely on your own insurance coverage for reimbursement or file a civil action if you are unable to locate the hit-and-run driver.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in various building materials and other products for decades because of its durability and fire-resistant properties. Due to its flexibility and resistance to heat, chemicals, and electricity, it has been used for years to make construction materials, car parts, and even textiles.
Asbestos exposure takes place when microscopic asbestos fibers become airborne. This toxic mineral dust remains in the air for hours, putting anyone nearby in danger of inhaling or ingesting it. In an ideal environment with few disruptions, it may take anywhere from 48 to 72 hours for asbestos fibers to settle. However, if the dust is disrupted, it can quickly become airborne again because of its density.
Most people are exposed through their profession. Professions in manual labor and skilled trades present a higher risk of asbestos exposure. U.S. Veterans were once amongst the most vulnerable because of the military’s past reliance on asbestos products, especially on Navy ships.
Commercial and home renovation are also dangerous because numerous older buildings have asbestos-containing materials. When common asbestos products found in homes start to disintegrate or are sanded, cut, drilled, or disturbed in any other way, microscopic fibers enter the air.
When asbestos fibers collect in human tissue through recurrent exposure, they cause inflammation and DNA damage. Over time, this damage causes cellular changes that can lead to cancer and other diseases. And the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure multiplies the hazard, creating an even greater health risk.
At The Cochran Firm, our attorneys work closely with each of our clients using pooled resources and their access to legal expertise to ensure the most effective legal representation available is provided. If you are concerned about potential asbestos exposure, or if you or a loved one has suffered from mesothelioma due to the asbestos exposure, please contact The Cochran Firm today for a free, no-obligation initial consultation.

How are civil courts and criminal courts different?
The primary distinction between the two is that criminal cases are often pursued by state officials, whereas civil cases are conducted between plaintiffs or private individuals or organizations. The overall processes are also different. In criminal cases, defendants are ultimately found guilty and in civil cases, defendants are ultimately found liable. Criminal and civil cases have various legal ramifications as well. In civil cases, monetary damages or an injunction are frequently awarded. Whereas, in most criminal cases, jail time and sanctions are involved.
Civil law operates on a “preponderance of evidence” standard, as opposed to criminal law’s “beyond a reasonable doubt” level of proof. Additionally, civil law focuses on interpersonal connections among members of a particular community or society, whereas criminal law was created to safeguard the welfare of the state against conduct judged as threatening or detrimental to its general safety.
At the Cochran Firm, we handle BOTH civil and criminal cases. If you are in need of legal representation, call us today at 1-800-THE-FIRM to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation with one of our attorneys.

While statistics show you how common workplace incidents and injuries are, they do not help you with the fact of knowing what to do next when you are injured on the job.

Listed below are circumstances that might arise and be the most critical situations for having an attorney present:
- Your employer denies your claim.
- Not all of your lost pay and damages are covered by your employer`s settlement.
- Your medical condition prevents you from returning to work or requires significant limitations to what you can do at work.
- You were injured because of a third party`s actions or serious misconduct from your employer.

Q: Can I still pursue compensation if I was partially at fault for my injuries?
A: Fault means that someone was responsible for causing harm -- usually through carelessness that rises to the level of negligence -- and must pay compensation for all injuries and other losses stemming from that harm. If a personal injury lawsuit goes to court, the result can be a civil jury award in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Sometimes not just one person is at fault. You may have been negligent, and someone else may also have been negligent, making both of you at fault.
In shared fault situations in a personal injury case, every state follows some variation of one of two legal rules: comparative negligence or contributory negligence.
