Practice Areas 
Attorney Gregory H Haubrich fights for the rights of Oklahomas who have been harmed by the actions of others.

Lawyers, like doctors, tend to specialize in particular areas and develop particular expertise. You would not want to hire me to search the title on your house, write a will, plan your estate, or defend you if you were charged with a felony.  Others in our firm (Foshee & Yaffe) are very good in those areas.

I am experienced in representing people who have been hurt in or by:

Auto Accidents

In the late 1990s/early 2000s, the Holloway-Dobson firm kept track of every single case in Oklahoma County in which there was a claim of spine injury (whiplash, for example) and where the property damage to the vehicle the plaintiff was in was less than $1000.00.

In 70 straight cases the verdicts were for less than the medical expenses and less than the Defendant’s insurance company was willing to pay. After that Holloway-Dobson stopped counting.

In most of these cases the injured person was just sitting in his or her car at a stop light or stop sign and got hit from behind without warning. In many, the person bringing the case was a passenger in the vehicle which was struck. Most of them lost their cases and were severely under compensated by Oklahoma County jurors because jurors — and therefore insurance adjusters — evaluate personal injury cases for vehicle passengers more on what happened to the vehicle than they do on the person. In fact, people can die in “low impact” collisions and people can walk away from vehicles which have been mangled beyond description.

Ever seen a crash dummy in a vehicle impact where the car is only going 9 or 11 miles per hour? It does not leave a mark on the car, but you should see what happens to the crash dummy.

The highest majority of cases I work on is automobile negligence cases. As you can see from the data I just gave you whiplash injuries — although real and very painful –are also very hard to prove.

However, we have our ways. We are not, and you are not, helpless.

There’s no reason you should have to suffer through a permanent injury or deal with thousands of dollars in bills and damage without compensation. I’ll put my decades of experience to work for you and pledge to do whatever I can to see to it that you get the care you’re entitled to.

Semi Truck Accidents

When an 80,000 pound vehicle hits a 3000 pound vehicle at highway speeds the results are usually not good. Force equals mass times velocity squared.

When I read about mandatory CDLs for truck drivers, I assumed they were then required to undergo extensive training before they could drive eighteen wheelers from Tucson to Tucumcari. They should, but they aren’t. OTJ (on the job) is maybe the best way to learn most things, but if I were a big company I would not use OTJ as the primary training method for operating nuclear power plants …. or learning how to drive an 18 wheeler without killing others. Still, today, there are LOTS of certified intrastate and interstate truck drivers who have never been to a defensive driving class — much less a truck driving academy.

Big trucks are subject to a lot of regulations for a reason. The Federal Government has passed laws designed to ensure that trucks will be safe, have well-trained drivers, and have adequate liability insurance to cover most of the injuries that they cause. Every truck in interstate commerce must drive under a Department of Transportation (DOT) number, the idea being that whoever’s DOT number is on that truck is responsible for injuries and damages caused or contributed to by the truck.

A big-truck driver should be a professional driver with special expertise. The Commercial Drivers’ License manual in Oklahoma gives excellent advice on how truck drivers can remain alert, anticipate oncoming hazards, plan escape routes, and be aware at all times of the vehicles around them.

I drove large trucks when I was younger, because I was a farm kid. But trucks and trucking companies today are very different from the 1960s and 70s. They have GPS tracking devices, sophisticated electronic equipment, drivers’ logs, driver qualification records, driver inspections, equipment inspections, and repair and maintenance records. Knowing what to ask for and how to get those kinds of records often provides a backdrop (i.e., excessive hours driving = driver fatigue) for why a particular tragedy occurred.

Usually in trucking injury cases we hire accident re-constructionists to determine the cause or causes of a crash. Sometimes we also need experts on trucking regulations and practices.

One of the really helpful things we can do nowadays is video animations that represent our experts’ opinions of how an incident occurred. I was one of the first lawyers in Oklahoma to develop and use video animations as demonstrative aids in personal injury cases. The first one took over thirty days to transfer from computer to video even though the animator had one of the fastest computers available at the time. Today all of that can be done in a day or two, at about one tenth the cost it used to be.

Insurance claims and insurance bad faith

An insurance policy is a contract between your insurance company and you.

Policies and policy terms are regulated by the Oklahoma State Insurance Commissioner, so insurance companies cannot just write anything they want to into the contract. When the policy is violated by the insurance company, you may have a claim to enforce the terms of the policy just like any other written contract.

For example, if you have a burglary and the company fails to pay the claim or only pays part of what is owed under the contract, I would represent you in litigation to enforce the contract and make them pay what is owed for your loss according to the terms of your homeowners policy.

UM, uninsured motorist coverage, is another example of a contract between you and the company that insures your vehicles. If you are injured by a driver who has no insurance or not enough insurance, UM coverage steps in to compensate you for your injuries up to the limits of the policy. One of the nifty things about UM coverage is that it goes with the person, not the vehicle, so it will cover you if you are in somebody else’s car, or even if you are sitting on your front porch and an out-of-control car careens off the road and hits you on your porch.

An insurance company has a duty of good faith and fair dealing with its own insureds. This is implied by law in every insurance contract in Oklahoma. If there is a “reasonable dispute” about a claim or its value, the company is not in bad faith and your claim is only for the value of what is supposed to be paid under the contract. However, if the insurance company fails to fulfill its duties to you, it may be in “bad faith.” In that case I may be able to help you recover damages outside the contract, such as annoyance, harassment, mental distress, and economic losses caused by the insurer’s failure to live up to basic insurance company standards.

In many cases arising from the May 2013 tornado outbreaks in Moore, Shawnee, El Reno, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, insurers are violating their duties to people with damaged or destroyed homes.

Last week I went to see a home in Moore which has massive holes through the roof, obvious structural damage, storm water damage, and rotting insulation and fiberboard, despite the fact my clients almost immediately had the roof professionally tarped soon after the storm.

Some punk adjuster refused to acknowledge their home is a total loss. He says he knows better than a structural engineer, a public adjuster, and an architect who all agree the home is a total loss. The insurance company has offered to pay 85% of the structure’s value, but won’t total it. If they totaled the house they would also be liable for a 20% rebuilding addition. That’s actually a difference to a nice working family of about $60,000.00. They are now having to live with relatives. Their children keep telling Mom and Dad “I just want my home back.” All their toys and games and clothes are ruined.

These companies are so enormous that not matter how badly we beat them it will not affect their bottom line. However, they treat people this way because if they can do it in thousands of cases they will save millions of dollars.

This is why we have lawyers, and it is why I really really love being a lawyer, because I can put you on at least a level playing field with State Farm, General Motors, the Burlington Northern Railroad, or the United States government. That’s power. In fact, that’s just plain fun. I promise, I cannot WAIT to take the deposition of that young punk adjuster in Moore who messed up those little girls’ lives that much!

This is just one example of the types of cases I handle every day. If you would like to find out how I can assist you, please contact me today to schedule a free confidential consultation and review of your case.

Product liability

In 1989, Ed Abel and I got a verdict for $10,000,000.00 in a product liability case against Black & Decker. Our client had been burned over most of his body and was horribly scarred due to a defect in an electrical tool which sparked a fire and explosion. At the time it was the highest verdict in the history of Oklahoma for an injured person.

When the jury foreman read out the amount, Ed didn’t hear them right. He whispered, “Greg, did they say a million?” I answered: “No, Ed, they said ten million.” (Yippee. Promise you our client had all of that coming. I would not trade ten million dollars for what happened to him.)

There are three kinds of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and warnings and instruction defects. Product defects are based on strict liability. You don’t have to prove that the manufacturer or seller was negligent, only that the product was more dangerous than the ordinary user or consumer of the product would expect.

Although it sounds simple, of course it’s not. Products cases are based on engineering principles, so you have to have experts like engineers and human factors types to test, evaluate, and render opinions on why the product is dangerous and caused your client’s injury.

I have handled product liability cases since I started practicing law. I like them because they are challenging and I always learn some new tricks working with experts and digging into the background of the particular product. Examples include:

• a trampoline (did you know that both orthopedic doctors and pediatricians have issued position statements that trampolines are too dangerous to be sold for recreational use?);
• medical implants like artificial hips and breast implants;
• a handicapped shower chair that collapsed;
• tools that sparked explosions (three different cases, it happens more than you might think);
• a defective oil rig whose design took off a man’s legs;
• chemical insecticides (chlordane and Dursban, which are now both banned in the United States);
• WD-40 (do NOT spray that stuff anywhere near anything which may have an electric arc — it WILL explode);
• the gas-tank design of a riding lawn mower (they are supposed to be grounded or they can ignite from static charges);
• a luxury car which caught on fire in the engine compartment and then locked the driver inside the car so she couldn’t get out while it burned;
• a collapsing ladder.

There are a tremendous number of government and industry standards and regulations that have to be looked at in any product liability case. Manufacturers and sellers of products usually claim that they made the product in accordance with established practices. That may be true, but just because something has always been done this way doesn’t mean that’s how it SHOULD be done. If that were the case, man would never progress.

It is a simple fact that products in America are vastly safer now than they were a few decades ago, and much of that improvement is due to the effects of product liability cases in which juries have determined that manufacturers failed to take into account inherent dangers in their products and design those dangers out of the products.

Premises liability

A premises liability case is a claim that a hidden danger or defect in a business or home injured a person on the premises.  The key word is “hidden”; if a danger is “open and obvious” the injured person cannot recover from the landowner.

Premises defects include such things as slippery floors, defective stair cases, weak balcony railings, tripping hazards such as large cracks or obstacles in walkways, and spilled substances in grocery stores.

In order to recover, the injured person must prove that the landowner knew, should have known of, or actually created the dangerous condition.

These are very fact specific cases.  However, many very serious injuries occur due to premises defects and falls.  I have handled two cases I can remember in which people died as a result of falls.  I read some years ago that every year 13,000 people die in the United States as a result of tripping or slipping falls.

These days many stores have security cameras which record events throughout the store.  One of the first things we do when we are retained to represent someone injured in a store is to send both a Letter of Representation and a letter requesting the potential defendant to save, store, and not alter any evidence pertaining to the injury, including video surveillance of the site.

Oklahoma follows a concept known as “spoliation of evidence”.  If a party has evidence which may be pertinent to a case, but permits it to be lost or destroyed, the other party may be permitted to request the jury to draw an “adverse inference.”

In other words, you would have produced the evidence if it had been favorable to you; since you don’t have it, you must not have liked what it showed. That is often why surveillance tapes of incidents conveniently “disappear” unless the plaintiff has a lawyer who knows how to get that critical evidence.

Civil rights violations & Police brutality

Just because somebody is charged with a crime does not mean they are guilty.

Law enforcement officers are only allowed to use that amount of force necessary to the specific situation.  Unfortunately a lot of very nasty things happen to detainees behind closed doors and out of sight of the public.  When police or jailers cross the line, they violate the federal and state constitutions which forbid the taking of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

This year the Oklahoma Supreme Court decided that the Oklahoma constitution provides these rights independent of the federal constitution.  In the past, claims based on state law alone were limited by the Oklahoma Tort Claims Act to $175,000.00.  Civil rights claims had to be brought in federal court, where you must prove a “pattern or practice” of violations and personal involvement of a policy making official in order to recover.  In the Bosh case, our Supreme Court wrote that a county or city is liable for police brutality, even if the policy making official was not aware of and did not contribute to the misconduct.

In December, 2012, my friend Aletia Timmons and I obtained the first and only jury verdict personally against Sheriff John Whetsel for mismanagement of the Oklahoma County jail which contributed to our client being beaten by his employees.

The Oklahoma County jail has been a horrible institution ever since it was built.  A 2007 Justice Department investigation found numerous violations of acceptable prison standards, including vermin in the kitchen, violence among inmates, toilets plugged by towels because inmates used them when they were not provided toilet paper, and brutality by guards towards detainees due in part to inadequate training and staffing of the prison.

In our case, Dionne A. McKinney, a very nice single mom with three kids in high school and college got picked up for driving while intoxicated.  When Dionne exercised her constitutional right to remain silent, female detention  officers dragged her into a closed cell, beat her head against the wall, kicked her repeatedly, and then left her lying naked on the floor for hours while they taunted her over the intercom.  Lawyers for the County and the Sheriff denied that it happened, and essentially said it was our client’s fault because she “chose to drive while intoxicated.”

A Oklahoma County jury decided otherwise, and awarded damages to our client including a finding that the Sheriff had acted maliciously in the way he mismanaged the jail.

Unfortunately, it’s all too true.  A prisoner has a right to adequate food, medical care, and housing; and to be free from brutality no matter what crime he or she is charged with or convicted of.

I have the luxury of being able to choose who I want to represent.  I doubt that I would take the civil rights case of a convicted child molester or rapist no matter how severely they were injured in jail, just because I personally can’t stand molester’s or rapists.  On the other hand, we have way too many people in our prisons who just took a wrong step with drugs or alcohol, and got imprisoned instead of getting some help like addiction treatment or drug court.

Oklahoma prisons are overcrowded and under-funded.  State employees including correctional officers are leaving and finding other jobs in droves because they haven’t had a raise now in six years.  It is the prisoners who suffer as a result.

When we take a case involving brutality or failure to provide medical care, we investigate those issues and look at the reasons and causes behind them.  In Dionne’s case, we had a former jail employee who testified she heard Dionne screaming while they beat her, and described other acts of violence which she witnessed in the receiving area of the county jail.

Being in prison is not supposed to be a pleasant experience; but it doesn’t mean you should cross through the gates of hell either.

Motorcycle accidents

A couple of months after my wife died I bought a Harley: 2009 Nightster, matte black on gray, low-riding cruiser single-seater with a Screamin’ Eagle performance kit and some nice add-ons like slip on pipes and a Mustang seat. It goes like a bat outta you know where.

I was riding it home on a country road the night I bought it and a flock of geese was flying alongside me down low about 40 miles an hour just honking and cruising along in the evening…looking for a nesting place I guess. I looked over at those geese and felt that close-to-nature-thing you can only get on a bike and thought to myself: “oh yeah, that’s why I bought this thing.”

But, when people on motorcycles crash, they get hurt really really bad. No matter how well you equip yourself with helmet, leather, gloves, and boots, you just don’t have a lot of protection from other vehicles or things when you’re on a bike. Plus, motorcycles aren’t as visible as cars or trucks. No matter how defensively careful you are on a bike, there’s always that person in a car out there who doesn’t look twice or pulls out without seeing you and there you go getting all busted up.

One thing about bikers is they tend to be tough. One of my friends got hurt by a pickup truck that made an illegal turn in front of him. My buddy had no choice but to lay it down. An eyewitness said that when he released from the bike he rolled and tumbled seven complete turns on the road. The pickup truck tried to leave the scene. J.D. got up and ran after him — on a broken ankle and with torn skin hanging off of both hands. Fortunately another driver sped after the guy and stopped him.

Just as in a car wreck case, one of the things we do in a motorcycle case is look at all available insurance: not just the liability coverage of the person at fault, but also our own clients’ insurance. Many of us have uninsured motorist coverage and medical payments coverage which can fill in the gap between the available liability coverage and fair compensation for the injury. But there is never really fair compensation for a really bad injury. In a bad wreck people’s lives may be changed forever.

One of my duties as a lawyer is to try to figure out what your case is worth. The value of the case is NEVER the same as what a person would take to not have a permanent, life-changing injury.

You need all the help you can get when it comes time to make your case. As your attorney, I’ll be there to answer all your questions and provide the aggressive representation necessary to get an acceptable settlement.

Nothing can erase a loss. But a lawsuit can help with:

• Hospital Bills & Medical Visits
• Funeral Expenses
• Wages Lost
• Damage to your Vehicle
• Property Damage

Mass torts (class action)

You know those ads on TV asking if you have taken a certain medication or were a veteran exposed to Agent Orange, and if so you may have a right to compensation?  Those are ads for people who may have been injured in what we call “mass torts” — where a medical product or medicine or chemical has been found to cause injuries in people who use or are exposed to them.

Hip implants, breast implants, thalidomide, birth control products, and various medicines may pose an unreasonable risk of harm to thousands or even millions of users of those products.  It would not be practical for the court system for each such person to file their own lawsuit, so the judicial system has developed a variety of means to consolidate those cases into central courts for management, settlement, and litigation.

You have probably heard the term “class action”.  A class action is a single lawsuit in which the claims of many similarly situated people are put together in the same lawsuit.  Ultimately most of them settle and formula is set up for individual claimants to each have an opportunity to share in the proceeds of the case.

Then there are MDLs — Multi-District Litigation — in the federal court system if there is a large group of cases filed against the same defendant over the same product or action, all of the cases from all federal district courts will be consolidated into one court to manage during the “discovery” stage, when the parties are required to turn over documents and things that may be pertinent to the claims.

MDLs make the cases work more efficiently, and like class actions often lead to large “global” settlements in which people may receive compensation based on the severity of injuries they have that are proven to be related to the product.  Once discovery is complete, the cases that remain unsettled are transferred back home for trial.

Although I have represented clients in mass torts such as breast implant, defective hip implants,  and fen-phen litigation, they are not my favorite thing to do.  I like to represent individuals and to have individual control over their case as their lawyer.  In class actions and MDLs, individuals become part of the herd and their individual stories tend to get lost in the crowd.  Still, if you have been injured by a defective medicine or medical implant, I usually know how to evaluate your case, provide strong representation, and associate with a major national firm that specializes in your particular type of case.

Toxic injuries

The Orkin Case

The first really complex toxic injury case I worked on was against Orkin.  They had a termite eradication and protection plan for my client Eileen, an elderly widow living in the Nichols Hills area of Oklahoma City.

Nearly every year she had termites emerge in the spring (when they swarm and attempt to form new castle/colonies).  Each time Orkin came out, collected their annual fee, and injected more chlordane into what they thought was the space between the slab and the foundation, but turned out to be the HVAC vents in Eileen’s house!

Ultimately she died of shingles, a horrible death.  Our toxicology expert believed, and I agree, that she was killed in this way by the termiticide.  The chemical in the air caused Eileen to have asthma symptoms.  She would end up in the hospital and be given doses of steroids to calm the asthma.  Her immune system was depressed by the steroids, which left her vulnerable to the virus which always resides in your spinal fluid if you have ever had chicken pox.  The virus activated, caused shingles, and this wonderfully sweet lady died.

Think about this:  The brilliant, experienced Orkin man had floated enough chlordane in the house to kill the human, but it was still rife with termites!

Part of the settlement was that Orkin bought the house, with disclaimers to all future purchasers, and had the opportunity to clean up the mess they made.

Chlordane, a close chemical relative of DDT, has since been banned for all use in the United States but is still used on corporate farms in Latin America without adequate warnings or protections for farm workers there.

Long vs. Allied Signal

Another fascinating and sad case was Long v. Allied Signal.  Allied Signal was shipping waste chemicals from California to Arkansas for incineration.  Acids in the chemical mixture ate through the teflon gaskets of the hatches of the tanker trailer, and started spraying out in an aerosol mixture at the Love’s Truck Stop on Choctaw Road and I-40, east of Oklahoma City.

My client was out mowing his yard about a mile north of there.  The wind was blowing from the south.  You know those little diamond shaped signs on the back of trailers that are carrying flammables or chemicals?  They have symbols and numbers so that emergency responders can see what kinds of dangers they are dealing with.

In this case the trailer was seriously mis-labeled.  Because of the incorrect information, the firefighters and hazardous materials units thought the chemicals were basically inert and non-toxic.  Otherwise they would have established a huge exclusion and evacuation zone.  Instead, Carl’s first warnings was when he started getting red and itchy and feeling dizzy.  He had been exposed to a mixture of toxins including neurotoxins (chemicals which can injure the brain and other nerve systems in the body).  As a result, he developed asthma and brain damage.

This case was tried to a jury in federal court.  Allied Signal offered Mr. Long just $15,000.00 for permanently injuring his ability to think and remember.  They had high-powered experts and lawyers that said he had no injury at all.

We caught one of their experts in a small lie; under cross-examination this very expensive doctor turned into jello on the stand, and basically admitted that Mr. Long had been exposed to a mixture of chemicals which could injure every system and every organ in the body, would cross the blood-brain barrier that protects our brains from chemicals, and cause brain damage.

The jury awarded Carl $510,000.00, including a finding that Allied Signal had acted recklessly and maliciously.  I’m told the jaw of the defense lawyer from the tall-building law firm dropped open in disbelief when the verdict came back.  (He had it coming, too, because he told the jury Mr. Long was not injured. Thankfully the jury saw through it — with the help, I must say, of a damned fine trial lawyer who also had a really great young lawyer, Carol Keeter, for a partner. )

Still, I wouldn’t take $510,000.00, less lawyer’s fees and costs, to have my brain permanently altered by chemical poisons.  Would you?

Nursing home negligence

His name was George.  He was 92.  He had Alzheimer’s disease.  He was a father and had been a loving husband.  His kids put him in this particular nursing home in Lawton, Oklahoma because it was close to one of his daughters and was a “skilled-care facility” with a “specialized Alzheimer’s unit.”

Except, not so much.  Somehow George got a broken femur (large upper bone in leg) and several busted ribs.  After an orthopedic surgeon put the leg in a cast and gave instructions for care, the splinters of the fracture shifted and the wound got infected underneath the cast.  We know that the nurses had noticed this, because a circle was drawn around the seepage on the cast.

But the doctor was not called and nothing else was done.  By the time the nursing home finally called for an ambulance and admission to a hospital several weeks later, George had gangrene, dehydration, malnutrition, pneumonia, bronchitis, and I can’t remember what else.  He suffered so much.  Just because he had severe Alzheimer’s does not mean he could not experience pain.

In the state of Oklahoma, nursing homes are regulated by the Department of Health.  You can check the results of surveys and investigations of nursing homes on-line at the ODOH website.

In many cases, including the one above, the ownership of the nursing home is an investor who lives out of state and has little or no interest in the residents of the home except to the extent they generate profit or loss.

To compound the problem, the Oklahoma legislature amended our statutes in the late 1990s so that nursing homes are no longer required to even carry liability insurance.
Nursing homes do not have to be dirty.  They do not have to provide substandard care.  They do not have fail to turn patients, causing bedsores and gangrene and sepsis.  They do not have to do “rote charting” or make false entries in patient records.

Why do none of us want to go to nursing homes or put our parents in them?  Because we don’t trust them to do what they are supposed to do.

My dad resided in a nursing home in my home town for the last months of his life.  He received outstanding, loving care and was as comfortable as he could have possibly been.  That is the way it is supposed to be.  That is what we should expect and receive for our family members at the later stages of life.

Medical, dental, or hospital malpractice

I probably get as many calls about medical malpractice as I do about any other type of case.  I take very few.  It must be a catastrophic injury. My client must be an awfully nice person.  And, the malpractice must be provable from the medical records, not just what witnesses say.

Nationwide — and in Oklahoma — 80% of all malpractice cases tried to a jury are lost.  The doctors and hospitals have tremendous advantages in the courtroom.

First, doctors have traditionally been very respected in America (although I think less these days).

Second, a doctor who is sued in Oklahoma can call on the best medical experts in the state to examine the facts and testify on his behalf.

Third, Oklahoma doctors almost always decline to testify against other Oklahoma doctors, so we are forced to go out of state and pay exorbitant amounts of money to hire qualified experts to review and then testify on behalf of our clients.

The expenses of a malpractice case are usually around $100,000.00.  Would YOU invest $100,000.00 in a case if you knew they odds were 4 out of 5 that you were going to lose?

Of course not.  However, in the Department of Tilting at Windmills, we still have cases which are so outrageous, the harm so enormous, the doctor so arrogant, that we will take the case and invest that kind of money.

One thing about Foshee & Yaffe, once we are involved in a case we are willing to go all the way, and invest whatever money is necessary to properly and zealously prosecute our clients’ claims.
