I want to throw a huge shout out to Phil Watkins. Once again, Phil was able to assist in getting one of our clients a fair settlement. The 41-year-old Plaintiff was injured while operating his own tractor-trailer here in Bexar County. The defendant driver cut across three lanes of traffic to enter a gas station while operating a tractor hauling an empty haz-mat (bleach) trailer. Our client swerved to avoid the impact and rolled his own tractor-trailer. The client had $131k in past meds (ER, chiro, and ESIs). Bruggeman recommended a lumbar disc replacement. We had a life care plan that amounted to $1.13M in present day value. Defense argued that our client’s morbid obesity in addition to chronic findings in the ER CT scan (which showed old spinal compression fractures with osteophytes) were the cause of the client’s issues. We were set for trial next month. Phil issued a $2.76M mediator’s proposal that both sides accepted. This was a great result, and Phil was awesome!
