$37.5 Million Verdict Verified Among Largest in Texas for 2024

|
VerdictSearch, the legal research publication of Thomson Reuters, has confirmed that the $37.5 million award to the family of a man killed by an Oncor service vehicle ranks among the top three motor vehicle-related verdicts in Texas for 2024. Lyons & Simmons co-founder Michael Lyons was part of the trial team that secured the verdict. 

In 2021, Shamsher Singh was fatally injured when the distracted driver of an Oncor truck slammed into the back of Singh’s disabled 18-wheeler parked on the shoulder of I-635 in Dallas.

“The evidence demonstrated that Oncor’s employee was distracted and failed to avoid Mr. Singh when dozens of other motorists reasonably did without incident,” said Lyons. “The jury in this case got it right and held a large company accountable that refused to take responsibility for killing a father and a husband.”
