In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.

The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.
What is a Caught-In or Between Accident?
A caught-in or between accident occurs when a worker is trapped, squeezed, or crushed between objects, machinery, or equipment. These incidents often result in severe injuries or fatalities, and they are one of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) “Fatal Four” construction site hazards.
Examples of caught-in or between accidents include:
- Being crushed by collapsing structures, trenches, or walls
- Becoming entangled in machinery with unguarded moving parts
- Being pinned between a vehicle and a stationary object
- Having a body part caught in equipment such as forklifts, cranes, or conveyors
These accidents not only cause physical pain but also lead to emotional trauma, financial strain, and long-term disability for victims and their families.
