Toby Hollinghead Talks About Representation by Law Firm After Her Accident “On the day of my auto accident, the farthest thing from my family’s mind as I was on a life flight to a trauma center (at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola) was the need for legal representation. During the weeks that I was in intensive care my family did not think about the high cost of medical and rehabilitative service costs.
Bills would begin arriving in huge quantities, along with threats of collection agencies. It was at this time, during this crucial period, when we retained Laird, Baker & Blackstock for their assistance.
Attorney Wesley Laird took over my case completely. And through his professional experience, laced with a big dose of humanity, my needs were met.
Wesley Laird, along with his assistant Amanda Stewart, worked tirelessly to get the best outcome possible for me. I was guided easily and effortlessly through this horrendous time in my life.
My appreciation of these professional, caring people goes beyond words. I will be eternally grateful for the wisdom and compassion shown to me and my family during this time.” ---Estoria “Toby “ Hollinghead, Folk Artist, injured in accident with large truck on May 4, 2009.

OIL RIG ASBESTOS CLAIMS
During the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s asbestos products and fibers were used in drilling mud. If you worked offshore on an oil rig or on land around a drilling rig from the 1960s through the mid 1980s it is very likely that you were exposed to asbestos products and even pure asbestos fibers.
One of the main uses of asbestos in connection with drilling mud was to add pure asbestos fibers into the drilling mud. These asbestos fibers gave the drilling mud a thicker consistency and also provided some fireproof protection qualities. Unfortunately, the workers who were required to dump bags of asbestos fibers into the drilling mud were never provided with proper protective equipment. Many of these workers literally breathed in pure asbestos fibers while working offshore, on drilling barges or even on land drilling rigs.
We have successfully represented oil rig workers for over 20 years .
FREE SCREENING – If you worked on an offshore or land-based oil rig and worked around drilling mud, call us at 334-493-9716 for a free screening. You may have a significant claim for this exposure.

Caring for People

At Laird, Baker & Blackstock, we care about people. That is why we will never represent insurance companies. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the best service we can. Whether you have been seriously injured, are having problems in your family, or whether you are buying a home, we will do everything in our power to meet your needs. We put people first."
