Hurley Quoted in Law360 Article about Justice Stevens’ Personal Injury Opinions

Grady Hurley, co-leader of the Maritime Litigation and Arbitration Team in the New Orleans office, was quoted in Law360 article “Justice Stevens’ Most Important Personal Injury Opinions,” specifically about Justice Stevens’ lasting impact on wrongful death cases in the maritime industry. Grady comments on Justice Stevens’ majority opinion in the 1978 case Mobile Oil Corp. v. Higginbotham, where four people died as a result of a helicopter crash in the Gulf of Mexico. The Supreme Court reversed the Fifth Circuit’s decision to grant “loss of society” damages to the family. Grady says the ruling was a signature maritime decision and Justice Stevens’ opinion is still relevant today, five decades later.
