Justice Served:
Record Verdicts Achieved
-
For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
-
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.
Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury can result from any situation in which the back and spine are subjected to intense pressure, causing the spinal cord to be bent and crushed. Injury can also occur if the spinal cord is cut or pierced.
Some of the most common causes of spinal cord injury include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Work accidents (including construction accidents)
Effects of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries are extremely painful, debilitating conditions that can severely impact a person’s mobility, organ function, and more. Paralysis is one of the most significant risks of sustaining a spinal cord injury. Even if paralysis does not occur, a person’s mobility can be significantly impacted. Additional issues may include muscle spasms, stiffness, weakness, and coordination issues.
Damage to the spinal cord and connected nerves can also impact a person’s sensory abilities and the organs which rely on those nerves to work properly. Body systems such as the urinary system may be harmed by a spinal cord injury.

Mi experiencia con el Sr. Mike Lyons, el Sr. Chris Simmons y su equipo fue excepcional. Manejaron mi caso con tal profesionalidad que me sentí muy tranquila. No me sentí como un simple número de caso ni como una clienta más. Fueron muy atentos con la familia, lo que me hizo sentir que la mía era su prioridad. Siempre me mantuvieron al tanto del estado de todos los trámites y, si tenía alguna inquietud, la atendían. Respetaron todas mis decisiones. Espero no tener que volver a contratar sus servicios, pero si lo necesitara, Mike y Chris serían mi primera opción. Creo que nos hemos hecho buenos amigos. Recomendaría a Lyons & Simmons a cualquiera que busque lo mejor en representación legal. Muchas gracias de parte de la familia Waldridge. ¡Que Dios los bendiga!

Un fatal accidente aéreo dejó a mi familia sumida en una profunda angustia. Siendo una joven viuda y madre de un bebé, estaba aterrorizada e insegura sobre cómo seguir adelante en un mundo que lo había trastocado todo. Lyons & Simmons se convirtió rápidamente en el pilar que mantuvo unida a nuestra familia. Todo su equipo me acompañó y me guio hacia las siguientes etapas de mi vida con confianza y ternura."
Cuando la pandemia de COVID-19 azotó una semana después del accidente, Lyons & Simmons continuó trabajando diligentemente en medio de los cierres mundiales. Si bien defienden con esmero a sus clientes, su trabajo es genuino y sincero. No se han insensibilizado ante las trágicas experiencias de sus clientes, y gracias a ellos he encontrado apoyo en todos los sentidos. Mis preguntas reciben respuestas completas y oportunas. Hacen hincapié en la estrategia y realizan un análisis exhaustivo de cada caso.
Lyons & Simmons ha forjado y mantiene sólidas relaciones con personas de todos los ámbitos de su práctica. La profesionalidad demostrada por Mike, Chris, Melinda y los demás es inigualable, y su capacidad para iluminar incluso las situaciones más difíciles es verdaderamente admirable. Admiro al equipo de Lyons & Simmons y seguiré agradeciendo a Dios por el trabajo que han realizado por mí y por mi hijo hasta el último día de mi vida.
