An international incident that injured a U.S. family sparked inquiries from press outlets around the world to a Delaware law firm. The firm turned to Furia Rubel for counsel and support to handle the media relations and public response, while the attorneys fought for justice for the family.
When a Delaware family was poisoned by exposure to an illegally applied pesticide while on vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands and left as quadriplegics, their Delaware law firm retained Furia Rubel to handle media relations, trial publicity, social media monitoring, positioning, and message management. With Furia Rubel handling the flood of media inquiries, the firm’s attorneys were freed to focus their energies on seeking justice and recompense for the family to ensure that their significant health care needs would be met.
