| Summary: | "Robert Habush was in his second year of law school when his wife gave birth to their first child, a healthy baby girl; just two months later, a defective vaccine irreparably damaged the child's brain. Eventually Habush successfully sued the drugmaker, won a settlement that could help care for his daughter, and the vaccine was pulled from the market. Born of intense personal tragedy, this was famed trial lawyer Robert Habush's first major victory. And thus was cast a pattern that repeated itself over the subsequent decades: an innocent victim is harmed, then Robert Habush seeks vengeance in the courtroom. His cases and battles are the stuff of legend. Cases brought against General Motors, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Big Pharma, Big Tobacco, International Harvester, Firestone, and dozens more. Claims made against doctors, drivers, manufacturers, and malefactors of every stripe. Juries swayed, judges convinced, judgments won, settlements paid. Robert Habush has avenged the innocent, righted the wrongs, and let the legal profession for fifty years. This is his story"--Unedited summary from book jacket |
