Matt Hutchins, whose wife Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot dead by actor Alec Baldwin on the set of the film Rust last month, has hired a Los Angeles-based law firm in connection with the shooting, a spokeswoman said.
Brian Panish of personal injury firm Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi, who earlier this year helped secure a $2.2 billion settlement for victims of Southern California wildfires and mudslides, will be the lead attorney, said Mr Hutchins’s spokeswoman Amanda Duckworth.
Mr Panish has also represented the mother and children of pop singer Michael Jackson in a wrongful death lawsuit.
