At Shepard O’Donnell, we represent individuals and families harmed by preventable negligence and corporate misconduct resulting in catastrophic injuries.

If you have been the victim of a catastrophic injury, contact us for a free case evaluation to see if you qualify for financial compensation.
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can happen due to a lack of proper planning or when safety protocols are ignored. These injuries often result in serious medical needs, lost income, and lasting changes to a person’s quality of life. We help injured workers pursue the compensation they deserve when preventable hazards cause harm.
Tobacco Litigation
Tobacco companies knew for decades that their products caused devastating diseases, yet continued to market them without adequate warnings. Shepard O’Donnell was part of the team to successfully hold tobacco manufacturers accountable, including securing a $43.1 million verdict against R.J. Reynolds, and represents individuals and families harmed by smoking-related illnesses compounded by asbestos exposure.
Harmful Medications and Implants
Patients trust medications, medical devices, and pharmacies to improve, not endanger, their health. When dangerous drugs, defective implants, or pharmacy errors cause serious injury, we fight to hold manufacturers and corporations accountable and seek compensation for those harmed.
Toxic Exposure
Toxic exposure occurs when individuals unknowingly inhale, ingest, absorb by unseen hazardous materials that do damage over time. This exposure can lead to serious illnesses that may not appear for years. Whether exposed at work or at home, we represent individuals injured by toxic substances who seek to hold powerful corporations to account by demanding financial compensation for their suffering.
Silicosis
Silicosis is a serious and preventable lung disease caused by breathing in crystalline silica dust generated when cutting, grinding, drilling, or polishing materials such as engineered stone, granite, concrete, and masonry products. If exposure occurred because proper safety measures were not in place, injured workers and their families may be entitled to pursue compensation and accountability.
