Brian Colón, Managing Partner of Singleton Schreiber's New Mexico offices, authored an op-ed in response to the Santa Fe New Mexican article, "State's massive civil jury awards: Just or coming bust?"
In his piece, Colón argues that large verdicts are essential to curbing harmful corporate practices and holding companies accountable. He emphasizes that insurance companies should implement preventative measures and incentives for better corporate behavior and public safety, citing New Mexico's ongoing PFAS Contamination and Mr. Colón's firm's ongoing environmental lawsuit.
Colón also addresses the unfair blame placed on lawyers and juries for "nuclear verdicts," highlighting overlooked case details and the necessity of substantial verdicts for corporate accountability, such as a case involving a corporation that placed a child with a foster parent despite prior sexual assault allegations or a young man killed in a horrifying car crash.
