Law firm to open in-airport offices
"Ambulances will be chasing us"
 NEW
YORK, NY -- Beginning next month the law firm of
Chasen, DeCash & Moore will begin to move junior partners into
offices located in major airports across the U.S.
Speaking from the company's headquarters here, John Jerriton, Corporate
Communications Director said, "With a trend of more and more litigation
involving air travel issues, we see no limit to the upside potential for
business from the aviation sector. From in-flight coffee spills to lost
luggage to overbookings to fatal airplane crashes, we view this practice
area as having the potential of explosive growth. And being the largest
player in the field of transportation litigation,
Chasen, DeCash & Moore views the expansion of our legal services into
airports—where the potential clients are—as a natural."
"What's more," said Jerriton, "there are vast opportunities for
participating in class action suits. Already we have added dozens of
associates just to handle the upcoming proceedings regarding the misappropriation of frequent flyer miles
by four of the ten largest U.S. flagged carriers."
According to a statement released today by the company, providing offices right on
airport property will not only help to recruit clients, it will also make it
easier for families of accident victims to file claims while rescue
efforts are still underway.
Jerriton added, "We are even getting specially equipped vehicles which
will be dispatched to the scene of a crash along with fire and rescue
trucks. We believe that it is important to be there when survivors are pulled from the wreckage and
want to exercise their legal rights."
Company literature shows a vehicle (see photo above) staffed with company associates
dressed in work clothes similar to rescue personnel "to make potential
clients feel more comfortable and secure."
"In fact," said Jerriton, "we expect that three times out of four, our
legal teams will be able to reach the scene of an airport accident before
ambulances arrive. Ambulances will be chasing us for a change."
