Cokinos | Young Secures Client Victory in High-Stakes $15 Million Vehicular Accident Trial
Parker Fauntleroy, Peter Wells and Jude des Bordes recently concluded a 2 ½ week long jury trial in Harris County wherein they defended a Houston-based construction company in a serious vehicular accident case involving two large commercial motor vehicles, a dump truck and plaintiff’s 18 wheeler. The plaintiff alleged he suffered severe injuries as a result of a motor vehicle accident with the company’s commercial motor vehicle, requiring neck fusion, multi-level back fusion, shoulder surgery and knee surgery and incurring past medical bills over $1,200,000. Plaintiff also alleged a head injury, permanent physical impairment, ongoing serious past and future physical pain and mental anguish and demanded the jury return a verdict of over $15,000,000. After closing arguments, the jury returned a defense verdict in favor of the company and awarded the plaintiff no damages.
Congratulations on a great win for a deserving client.
