2024 Standout Settlements

Highlights from CvPA’s Recent Wins

$17.5 Million

Paraplegic Injury at Volunteer Event
Our client sustained a life-altering injury while uploading a push-type manlift at a volunteer event, resulting in paraplegia. After conducting over 20 depositions, including those of 8 different experts, it was determined that the rental company had failed to load the manlift into the correct trailer safely. The case ultimately settled at mediation.

$4 Million

Blindsided by 18-Wheeler 

Our client was blindsided in an 18-wheeler collision, causing their vehicle to flip and necessitating a medical evacuation via helicopter. Following multiple surgeries, our client was able to regain mobility. The case settled through negotiations before reaching trial.



$3 Million

Surgical Error Case

The plaintiff experienced years of debilitating back pain and agreed to a discectomy to alleviate the issue. Unfortunately, the surgeon removed the wrong disc during the procedure, leading to further complications. Despite Texas state law limiting the amount of damages recoverable, the case settled prior to trial.

$2.25 Million

Collision with Delivery Driver

This settlement was achieved for a plaintiff injured in a vehicle collision in Denton County. The plaintiff sustained serious injuries when the defendant, who was working as a delivery driver for a local corporation, failed to yield and struck the plaintiff’s vehicle. The plaintiff required immediate fusion surgery as a result of the accident. The case was resolved the week before pretrial, after more than 20 depositions and input from 5 different expert witnesses.

$2.2 Million

Loss of Only Child from Alcohol overservice

This settlement was reached in a tragic wrongful death case involving a deceased individual with prior alcohol issues. After drinking throughout the day, she was served four shots at a local restaurant within thirty minutes. The restaurant failed to intervene as she left and subsequently collapsed in her car from alcohol poisoning. Given our firm’s prior experience with this chain, we obtained a pre-suit settlement for her only child.

$1 Million

Truck Wreck Leads to Concussions
Our clients were involved in a low-speed truck wreck when a crane truck collided with the back of their box truck. Both clients suffered concussions, and nearly two years passed before they received treatment. Despite these challenges, the case settled 30 days before trial following the deposition of a traumatic brain injury expert.

$775K

Slip and Fall in Hotel Lobby

After slipping and falling in a hotel lobby due to an unidentified liquid, the client sustained injuries. The investigation revealed that the hotel had failed to follow its own established safety procedures, which could have prevented the accident. The case settled one month before trial.

$600K

Injury from Low-Speed Rear-End Collision

At a red light, our client was rear-ended by a car traveling at 4-5 mph. This accident led to a slow deterioration of her back due to a pre-existing chronic disease. Despite a year-long gap in treatment and property damage of less than $2,000, the case settled shortly after mediation with the assistance of a life-care planner who specialized in this particular chronic disease.

$600K

Negligent Security Leads to Injury

The plaintiff’s foot was run over when her car was stolen at her workplace. As she walked to the parking lot, the thief sped off and ran over her foot. We sued the property owner for negligent security. Upon inspection and depositions of the security team, it was revealed that there was no security at the building. The case settled during mediation.
