WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — In a strategic move to broaden its legal competencies, the prominent catastrophic injury law firm Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa announced its expansion into mass tort law, an area dealing with civil actions involving numerous plaintiffs against one or a few corporate defendants in state or federal court. This move will include welcoming highly regarded attorney Troy Rafferty as a new shareholder. The firm, rebranded as Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa (RDCY), marks a significant turn in its mission to champion client rights on a national scale.
Troy Rafferty, previously associated with Levin Papantonio Rafferty, enriches RDCY with nearly three decades of experience in mass tort law. He has a commendable history of obtaining monumental settlements and verdicts, which include leading roles in landmark cases involving harmful pharmaceuticals and defective medical devices. His successful litigation includes notable jury verdicts amounting to $150 million and $140 million in Testosterone Replacement Therapy lawsuits, and he played a pivotal role in a $36 billion national opioid settlement.
Sean Domnick, a shareholder at RDCY, expressed his enthusiasm about the firm’s enhanced practice scope and Rafferty’s induction. “RDCY is poised to handle more complex and demanding mass tort cases with Troy’s unmatched expertise. His track record and commitment complement our vision of extending robust legal support to more clients across the nation,” Domnick stated.
According to Rafferty, joining RDCY represents both a professional and a personal milestone. “It’s a privilege to align with a firm whose ethical standards and commitment to justice mirror my own. Together, we aim to construct a formidable mass tort practice, focused on securing justice for clients while upholding the highest standards of legal excellence,” Rafferty commented.
The firm’s decision to expand its focus areas also reflects a natural progression in its mission to deliver top-notch legal representation and achieve substantial outcomes for its clients. By integrating Rafferty’s expertise and leadership, RDCY aims to strengthen its capabilities and further its reach in national mass tort litigation, emphasizing a client-centered approach in handling sensitive and impactful cases.
RDCY shareholder Fred Cunningham highlighted the personal connection and shared values that underscore the team’s cohesion and vision moving forward. “Having known Troy for over 15 years, his dedication to social justice, family, and community is remarkable. His vision syncs well with the path we foresee for RDCY, making this a promising collaboration for us and our clients,” Cunningham noted.
As RDCY ventures into this new chapter, the firm is well-positioned to leverage its enhanced expertise to advocate vigorously for individuals wronged by corporate entities, reinforcing its commitment to justice and client satisfaction.
