SUMMARY
As an associate at Brayton Purcell LLP, Hugh C. Cook is dedicated to representing clients in Novato, California, and throughout the San Francisco area. He focuses his practice on the following areas: mesothelioma law, tobacco litigation law, personal injury law, premises liability law, product liability law, professional liability law, torts law, toxic torts law and workersÂ’ compensation law.
All too often, large corporations focus on profits, rather than the hazards that asbestos poses to workers in the shipping, construction and defense industries, among others. As a result, people may develop serious medical conditions, including asbestos lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma. These conditions often require extensive medical treatment and care, and, in some cases, may impact peopleÂ’s ability to continue working and providing for their families. With each case he handles, Mr. Cook listens to his clientsÂ’ needs and works closely with them to achieve results that address their short-term and long-term needs and goals. He understands that each individual case often carries unique challenges and provides his clients with the customized guidance they require.
For more than a decade, Mr. Cook has committed himself to aggressively advocate on behalf of those that have been injured due to the intentional actions and negligence of others. As the supervisor for his firmÂ’s investigations department, he has extensive experience in determining how toxic exposures, accidents and work injuries occur, and who is responsible. In order to best serve his clients, Mr. Cook is admitted to practice law in the state of California, as well as before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
