Case Results

$2,600,000 Recovery After Auto Collision With Loose Bull

We recently represented a young Texas man who was driving along in his Mazda Protege when out of nowhere, he collided with a large Brangus bull standing directly on the road in which he was driving. The bull had escaped from a not too distant ranch. Our client had just finished his residency that exact day and had high expectations of starting a new and exciting career as a pediatric anesthesiologist. His promising future immediately ceased to exist as he was left a quadriplegic from the collision. The result of this incident took a toll on the man and we immediately offered our assistance to get him a successful outcome.

Scott C. Krist fought on behalf of their suffering client. In a positive conclusion, the man saw a recovery of $2,600,000 and can financially recover from this devastating event. Case expenses totaled $246,064.33 with an attorney fee of 40%.

$4,000,000 Recovery In Houston Premise Liability Case

A Houston resident was walking down a flight of stairs in his apartment complex when he suddenly tripped and fell over the railing, plummeting seven feet. The fall paralyzed the man who immediately relied on Scott C. Krist to help him with a Houston premise liability case against the apartment complex.

Our attorneys sympathized with the man, now facing a life-changing and uncertain future. A further investigation into the case revealed a metal stairway stringer about a quarter of an inch above the floor, no railing on one side and only one working light in the stairwell. All factors, our client said, the landlords were previously aware of, yet failed to take into consideration and repair. With a strong argument, we successfully recovered $4,000,000 for our client. Case expenses totaled $79,697.43 with an attorney fee of 40%. This was the largest premises liability recovery in Texas in 2013.
