Joe Terry obtained a $3,772,500 settlement for a South Texas oil field hand who was burned as a result of a natural gas pipeline explosion near Laredo, Texas.
After being told he didn’t have a case by another law firm, the client came to Terry & Thweatt, who took the time to thoroughly investigate the cause of the explosion and the parties responsible. Our firm then conducted extensive discovery, took numerous depositions, and hired multiple experts to assist in identifying those contractors that contributed to causing the explosion. Days before trial, the negligent companies relented and paid a settlement that will take care of our client in the future.
Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $1,583,681.31.
