“This is a terrible situation for the entire Clairton community, the workers, and their families. As someone whose dad still works in a steel mill, and as a firm that has multiple employees whose family members have worked in mills, this hits home for us. We’re here to help and support the injured workers, their families, and the community in any way we can.” – Attorney Robert Fisher
