David J. McMorris

A Boston trial lawyer who leads a workplace injury practice

David J. McMorris is a trial lawyer at Thornton Law Firm in Boston, where he directs the firm's workplace injury practice. He is admitted in Massachusetts and New York, a graduate of the State University of New York at Brockport and Suffolk University Law School, and a member of the American Association for Justice. His profile describes trial work in product liability, construction accidents, toxic exposures, lead paint poisoning and asbestos exposure. What stands out to us is a role few lawyers hold: his profile states that the federal district court in Massachusetts has appointed him plaintiffs' liaison counsel in asbestos litigation since 1993, and that he held the same position in the Massachusetts Superior Court from 1993 to 2017. Courts give that job to lawyers they trust to coordinate hundreds of cases. He has also lectured on occupational disease and complex litigation at Tufts University and Boston University School of Law, and his profile lists recognition by Super Lawyers for 15 years. This kind of lawyer is typically sought by a worker or family dealing with an occupational disease, a construction site injury or a defective product. Think you have a case? Start here.
