Braugh Law’s lawyers have obtained many multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements in a wide variety of cases, from business partnership disputes, shareholder derivative and oppression cases, commercial disputes involving oilfield operations and business dealings, FLSA collective actions, to injury cases involving oilfield equipment, trucking negligence, premises liability, automotive and tire defects, and defective industrial equipment.  Trial verdicts exceed $85,000,000.00, with combined total verdicts and settlements exceeding $350,000,000.00 in individual cases for their clients.

SUCCESSFUL VERDICTS

• In Rose Munoz v. Ford Motor Co., we obtained a jury verdict in excess of $29.5 million, which was the first jury verdict in the nation involving the notorious combination of Ford Explorers and Firestone ATX and Wilderness AT tires. These products had claimed the lives of over 200 people and injured hundreds more. Prior to this case, the U.S. automotive and tire industry had denied that aged tires presented any hazard to consumers, but during the course of the Munoz case, Ford Motor Company finally agreed to begin warning consumers about tire aging. Since this verdict, automotive and tire companies have begun providing consumer information on tire age limits.

• In Umma Resources, LLC v. Key Energy Services, Inc., we obtained a jury verdict in excess of $20 million case involved damage to a 16,000 foot deep gas well in south Texas caused by a publicly-traded well service company.

• In Ibarra v. LG Electronics we obtained a $34 million jury verdict for a single fatality in a home fire caused by a defective window air conditioning unit. The Ibarra case exposed the hazards of an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) program, which allowed foreign manufacturers, such as Korean conglomerate LG Electronics, to self-certify compliance with UL standards, with little to no oversight.
