Happy Land Social Club Fire – Settlement

For our clients, the families of several patrons of a social club who were killed in a fire that was intentionally started. The action was against, among others, the owners of the building, for various fire code violations which we claimed contributed to the spread of the fire and the inability of the victims to escape from the raging fire. We were also appointed to the plaintiffs’ committee, which acted as counsel for all of the plaintiffs, including the family members of 87 patrons who died in the fire.
