$104 Million
A jury has awarded $104 million in a wrongful death case stemming from a catastrophic commercial trucking crash that killed El Pasoan Orlando Robles, finding MVT Services LLC and its driver, Juan Garcia, responsible for the preventable collision that forever changed the lives of Robles’ surviving family.
Tawney, Acosta & Chaparro P.C. Truck Crash & Injury Attorneys represented Robles’ only son, who was 7 years old when his father was killed and is now 12. TAC intervened in the case on the child’s behalf through his mother. Other surviving family members–including Robles’ wife, his estate, his mother and his daughters–were represented separately.
$30 Million
We secured a $30 Million settlement this week for a deserving client, a young woman near and dear to our hearts. She was just 22 years old when a distracted truck driver destroyed her spine in a terrible rear-end crash.
The road to justice has been difficult, but this week the future brightened up.
Our team gave their all for this moment…for this smile.
$21 Million
We partnered with a San Antonio legal team to settle a case against an oil company that forced our client’s son to work in extreme heat at a Carlsbad, NM well-site without proper shade, water, or cooling. He collapsed, and with no one trained to handle heat injuries, he died nearly 2.5 hours later at the hospital. The family received a $21 million settlement, though the father (our father) received less.
$4.715 Million
We secured a $4.715 million verdict for our client who suffered severe spinal injuries in a crash with a United Petroleum Transports semi-truck in El Paso, TX. The defense attempted to settle for far less, arguing that her age—nearly 70—diminished the case’s value. We refused to back down, proving that justice should never be discounted.
$1 Million
Settled with a commercial truck company for their driver not paying attention to traffic and sideswiping our client at an excessive speed on I-10, which then caused our client to crash into another vehicle.
$7 Million
We’re representing the mother of a 14-month-old baby who was killed after a Luna County Sherriff’s officer recklessly pummeled into her car at 99 mph while speeding to a burglary. The officer’s speed reached 130 mph on a road that has a speed limit of 55 mph.
$2.25 Million
Our team went to trial and received a $2.25 million verdict for our truck driver client after another semi-truck driver recklessly changed lanes and crashed into our client. His injuries ended his career and caused him to suffer from a traumatic brain injury.
$900,000
Our mother and daughter clients suffered detrimental injuries they will never recover from because the owner of a tow-truck company consciously decided not to place lights or reflectors on one of his tow trucks, making it practically invisible at night. As a result, our clients slammed into the truck, which was making a U-turn in the middle of a New Mexico highway.
$225,000
An older client suffered life-altering injuries after slipping and falling at a local big box store. $225,000 settlement.
