Joe Terry obtained a $575,000 settlement for a woman whose legs were burned in a flash fire while a passenger in a UTV in East Texas. After being told she didn’t have a case by another lawyer, Terry & Thweatt took on the case, hired experts, and aggressively began investigating the explosion and the parties responsible for it, which included a foreign manufacturer who appealed to the Texas Supreme Court in an attempt to stay out of the case.
Through perseverance and hard work, all parties were kept in the case. Instead of facing trial, they chose to settle, which would cover our client’s future medical needs.
Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $289,611.07.
