March 31, 2025 |

By Lyons & Simmons, LLP

In an hour-long podcast, Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons dissect the background of the firm’s recent $109.5 million negligence verdict against CPS Energy of San Antonio. As the two explain, the company never provided a consistent alternative argument for the triggering source of the explosion that left two residents severely burned and traumatized, leading to the jury’s decision. Michael and Chris also outline the successful strategies used in jury selection and at trial that led to the landmark ruling. Video of the podcast “Burned into Memory” can be found here.
