In the courts: We continue to be very busy despite the pandemic. While most courts remain closed or on a remote limited calendar, our fight for justice for our clients endures. To that end, we continue to be on the forefront of the national Zantac/ ranitidine Litigation, and the federal MDL continues to progress. Click here to learn more.

In the community: We’re now accepting submissions for our annual Anti-Distracted Driving Scholarship! This scholarship will award a local student in the Greater Pittsburgh area a $2,500 scholarship to be applied toward further education. All they have to do to enter is write an essay helping in the fight against distracted driving. Know a student who could benefit? Click here for more information. 

For clients that have engaged us regarding the claims of dangerous drugs or defective medical devices (or other products), one of the first questions we’re typically asked is “What is a Mass Tort Case – and why does it apply to me?“

We asked our very own Roopal Luhana to explain; click here to learn about mass tort cases and how they differ from class-action lawsuits.

How long have you been with Chaffin Luhana and what do you do here? I’m still the new guy – I began this past January after passing the perpetually-postponed remote bar exam! 

What is your favorite thing about working at Chaffin Luhana? It has to be the genuine teamwork that is brought to each project. Being a new attorney, as well as new to the firm, everyone here is very willing and eager to help me learn. The sense of camaraderie is something I have not experienced in other legal workplaces and it’s something I highly value. 

How do your talents best fit your role here at the firm? I consider myself primarily an extrovert and someone who enjoys establishing a connection with others. Also, while I know many people enjoy routine, I find my stride in doing something new – and in the few months I have been with the firm, there has been no shortage of new experiences! I’m excited about my future here, and know that my background and experiences can serve as an asset in propelling the firm to new levels of success.  

Tell us what you do in your spare time. I’m quite the indoor cycler – you can often find me spinning at Zenergy Cycling in East Liberty. Music is also another passion of mine – I enjoy attending concerts, musicals, and operas (I won’t even mention my ill-fated American Idol audition…), as well as exploring local cuisine; though born and raised Southerner, I still cannot condone putting coleslaw and fries on the same sandwich!
