Naman Howell attorneys Evan Patterson and Larry Warren recently found success in the 430th District Court in Hidalgo County.
Our firm represented an oil well operator in a case where the plaintiff, a derrickman, suffered a severe injury while pulling rods out of an oil well. The injury required multiple surgeries and extensive medical treatment.
After a one-week trial, with the Hon. Israel Ramon, Jr. presiding, the jury returned a total defense verdict.
Despite the plaintiff’s counsel asking the jury to award $5 million, they found that our client, the operator, was not negligent, assigning 80% of the liability to the plaintiff and 20% to his employer.
