From Rob Kwok:

In my 29+ years of law practice this explosion hits closest to home. Literally, 5 miles from home. We woke up to the sonic boom that set off our house alarm on January 24, 2020 at 4:23am. My phone started ringing around 7am and hasn't stopped ringing since. Many close friends live near the Watson facility. Many of my kids' classmates were affected. In fact, our lead Plaintiffs have 4 kids in school with our 4 kids. We're so glad to serve their family during this explosion that destroyed their home. A bit about me, I'm board certified in personal injury trial law, and have represented people my entire career. I am AV rated, peer review/judicial review rated - the highest possible rating. I filed the first wrongful death case in the tragic 2005 BP Amaco Explosion that killed 23 workers. We had incredible results for all of our clients. I actually presented my last BP case to a Galveston County jury - that case settled on the first night of trial, after jury selection. I also won the record setting jury verdict in the Channelview Explosion in 2014, that killed 1 worker and injured others. The 5-week jury trial record verdict landed us in the Texas Lawyers Hall of Fame. When not working Explosion cases, my firm is one of the highest volume personal injury trial law firms in Houston. I'm so grateful for our world-class team of 50+ talented professionals. Update: we've added more team members in the past year to staff up for the Watson litigation and have tripled our mass torts division. We are grateful for our explosive growth! Please know that I take each one of your cases personally. I'm deeply honored to represent 1,000+ of your family members, friends and neighbors. In December, I successfully concluded my appointment as co-chair of the January 24 Claimants Committee, and now we get to finally litigate your cases in state court. In short - I am "All In" on the Watson explosion case. Together we are rebuilding your neighborhood, one home at a time. Best, Rob Kwok - rkwok@kwoklaw.com
* Note: January 24, 2022 is the deadline (2 year statute of limitations) to file suit & the deadline to dispute payments for many homeowners insurance policies.
Our clients have/will have their explosion lawsuits filed before January 24, 2022. Please update your current contact info and correct name spelling at watsondocs@kwoklaw.com or call 713.773.3380.
Dear Clients, I enjoyed seeing many of you this past Saturday. Our team was glad to help with your home damage issues and your fact sheets. We hope you are liking our free client lunches and cool raffle prizes! We are scheduled to be at the pool house again on July 31, then on August 14 & 28. These in person meetings have been helpful for scanning documents and filling in your fact sheets. By now many of you have completed your initial fact sheet call. We still need complete information from everyone - please help us help you get your fact sheet uploaded before the first deadline - September 18, 2021. If you have not yet scheduled your fact sheet consultation with our English, Spanish and Vietnamese speaking paralegals and attorneys, please e-mail us as watsondocs@kwoklaw.com to schedule an appointment TODAY! Our first group of 150 fact sheets are due by September 18, 2021. We know many of you are still seeking medical treatment and still fighting with your insurance companies. We will submit your available documents and add the rest as it becomes available. Remember, we must prove up your damages - both property and injury. Without proof, the jury cannot award you any damages. The more information we have on your case the sooner we can certify your case for trial. No case will be certified for trial without a completed PFS. This means you will not recover anything from your case - ever - if you do not help us file your PFS. You will need to sign under oath the information you provide is true, and you will sign authorizations for medical records for the past 8 years. Again, we know many of you have waited patiently for your day in Court. As we discussed in our last town hall meeting, we know many of your homes are partially repaired and others still unlivable. Our first party team (email us 24/7 at 1P@kwoklaw.com) continues to work with your insurance companies to approve supplements and repairs. Some first party insurance companies are fighting hard to underpay, even though your homes are near Watson (well, what used to be Watson.) The insurance fight is unnecessary, as insurance companies have joined the lawsuit to get their money back. As we have discussed many times, your insurance company may have a "subrogation" right. Please keep sending your case evidence - documents, photos, estimates, insurance policies, medical records/bills to Watsondocs@kwoklaw.com. This email address automatically places the documents you send into your file on our secure server. Our team of 52 professionals are working on facts sheets around the clock - please cooperate with us, help us help you! Our Watson team will see many of you in person on Saturday, July 31, 2021 at the pool clubhouse. Bring your documents! Free lunch 11am - 3pm with client raffle for prizes at 1pm! Best, Rob Kwok Reminders for our clients: Our legal team has been actively reaching out to each one of you personally, so please cooperate with us to prove up your cases. All losses, property, injury, etc. must be properly documented for Court. As always, e-mail questions and documents/photos 24/7 to watsondocs@kwoklaw.com. We have many clients experiencing continued ringing in the ears and hearing damage/loss. You need to document your hearing damage for your case. Please contact attorney Adam at advorak@kwoklaw.com. We also have many clients experiencing continuing explosion related thoughts/feelings, affecting every day life. This includes unwanted upsetting memories, nightmares, flashbacks, emotional/physical distress after exposure to traumatic reminders, irritability, anger/aggression, risky or destructive behavior, hypervigilance, jumpy on edge, difficulty concentrating, difficulty sleeping etc. If this is you, please contact attorney Adam at advorak@kwoklaw.com. If you are uninsured, contact Memorial Area Ministries. MAM approved a repair claim for one of our uninsured clients with a severely damaged home and work is near completion. We were glad to pack out and move out our clients into an apartment while their home is being restored safe to live. Thank you Texas Vanguard Construction and others who donated their time. If you are not happy with your insurance offer, e-mail us at 1P@kwoklaw.com. Our 1P Team has been getting amazing results for our clients. Rebuilding progress is already underway in many client's homes. If you live on Stanford Court, Lybert, Rockcrest, Valleywood, Sunwood, Bell Gardens, Talina Way, Richmond Hill, Gladewood, Fieldstone, Sommerville, Bridgeland, Eagle Glenn, Cottage Field, Terrace Manor, or near those streets, your home may have structural damage that must be accounted for in your insurance settlement. You may be entitled to policy limits for your home like many of your neighbors - giving you the freedom to repair or rebuild - your choice! Your home is your greatest asset and place of rest, please trust us to maximize your insurance claim. As always, you may reach us by phone at 713.773.3380 or email at 1P@kwoklaw.com. Expect regular client group texts, e-mail, zoom and social media contacts. We had a great turnout for our last virtual town hall and are giving live updates in person on Saturdays at the pool clubhouse - our team of attorneys are there to answer your questions each Saturday in May, June and July - join us for free lunch! As usual, find real-time updates here at www.watsongrindingexplosion.com.
• The SBA is offering low interest loans. Terms are up to 30 years and rates as low as 1.5% for property damage victims from the Watson explosion.
