Flinn
v. Eckerd Drugs
Case
Summary: A man nearly died when he was given a poisonous compound,
liquid glass, instead of the medicine he needed. During the lawsuit
it was revealed that Eckerdıs had made nearly 50,000 additional
medication errors. This case led to the pharmacy chainıs adoption
of a zero-tolerance policy on medication errors and also helped
reveal the problems to the public.
Communications
Strategy
The
client, who was willing to tell his story, was utilized to help
get the message out to the public. He participated in variety of
media interviews including the "Today" show. During the time of
the interviews, we aired television and radio commercials and scheduled
newspaper ads to run locally and nationally. The Wall Street Journal,
the Houston Chronicle and the Corpus Christi Examiner(?) published
articles about the case.

Bliskey
v. Berry Properties
A
woman was raped, abducted and robbed inside her apartment just four
months after requesting a keyless deadbolt lock for her front door.
The management company of her apartment complex was found guilty
and was one of the firsts to be forced to accept responsibility
for such a crime committed on its premises. The assailant was sentenced
to 90 years in jail. Because of this case, a bill was passed requiring
all exterior doors on rental units be equipped with keyless locks
and peepholes.
Communications
Strategy
This
case, though local, demanded national attention. With the right
public relations and communications, the victimıs story has been
told on local, state and national television, including NBC News.

Pool
Fence Safety
Lawsuits
do more than protect the rights of victims. Often, they can lead
to new laws that improve safety for us all. Thatıs exactly what
happened in a case that involved the most tragic of accidents
the death of a child. A few years ago, pools in Corpus Christi werenıt
required to have any type of barrier around them. But the family
of a toddler who nearly drowned and suffered fatal brain damage
sued the apartment complex where the incident occurred. Afterwards,
the owner of the complex joined the victimıs lawyer, David Perry,
in petitioning the City Council for greater pool safety measures.
The result was a new ordinance that requires all swimming pools
within the city limits to be fenced.
