“A Civil Action” – A Wonderful Film About Personal Injury Law

Christopher Earley | | Film

I recently saw the 1998 film “A Civil Action” which I thought was amazing. The movie is based loosely on Massachusetts personal injury attorney Jan Schlichtman’s fight against a factory (and its lawyers) in Woburn, Massachusetts which allegedly dumped chemicals into a river in Woburn. Children in the town became sick and eventually died after drinking the contaminated water. Attorney Schlichtman is played expertly by John Travolta. The film is inspirational and evocative. Check it out.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
