A husband and father was killed when an unlit 18-wheeler reversed across a dark two lane highway, leaving him no room to stop. The driver was charged criminally, but that would not provide for the family he left, so we built the civil case that could. We refused the trucking company’s rushed offer and recovered one of the largest reported truck settlements in Texas that year.
Result Varghese Summersett obtained: the family received $2,317,515.82.
A Case Others Called Hopeless
- Case type
- Fatal residential fire, wrongful death
- What happened
- Faulty, uninspected wiring in a rental home caused a fatal fire
- What we had to overcome
- A defense that tried to blame the person who died
- Resolved by
- Settlement
- Handled by
- Varghese Summersett
An older woman died in a fire at her mobile home community, and the property’s managers denied everything, betting no one would prove them wrong. We proved them wrong, showing through discovery that the unit had been occupied before it was ever properly inspected, with maintenance problems and faulty wiring, and no support for the story they told about our client. Where others saw a hopeless case, we secured a recovery that provided for the family.
Result Varghese Summersett obtained: after a denial of liability most thought would end the case, a settlement that took care of the family’s substantial losses after all expenses.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Every case depends on its own facts, and no particular outcome can be promised.
