The Texas Lawbook highlighted Jordan Lynch & Cancienne name partner Walter Lynch after his rapid and successful legal defense of Air Liquide Large Industries against a workplace injury lawsuit. 

The plaintiffs, former employees of the company, filed the lawsuit in May 2021 seeking $370 million in damages , alleging a catastrophic plant explosion caused serious injuries and hearing loss. Mr. Lynch, who was brought onto the case less than three weeks before trial, says the plaintiffs lacked key evidence of gross negligence. 

“These simply were just not reported. And we also had third-party coworkers who testified that they did not see or experience the events the same way the five plaintiffs did, and the plaintiffs really had no corroborating evidence of their allegations,” Lynch said. 

The jury awarded a total of $360,000s for medical care, less than 10% of the original ask.
