$3,963,927.62 Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on November 7, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Having an attorney who is relentless in their pursuit of justice is invaluable. Recently, attorney Mark Fassold along with attorneys Caleb Rackley and Julie Matsen exhibited why having a formidable legal team fighting for justice can garner incomparable results.

Our client was rear-ended by the defendant’s truck here in Bexar County which resulted in a lumbar spine injury requiring surgery and a traumatic brain injury. The defendant claimed that our client was at fault for the crash and the fact that our client returned to work the day after the crash meant that our legal team had their work cut out for them. Not afraid to put in hard work, our team rolled up their sleeves to fight for our client. In the end, they were able to settle the case for $3,963,927.62.

A settlement of this amount is a direct correlation to how much our team cared about our client. The unmatched effort they displayed during the litigation process ended up being worth it for our client who was able to obtain justice for an accident that was not their fault. We are proud to have these attorneys on our team. Way to go, everyone!

Truck Driver Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on August 1, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Sleep deprivation can be extremely dangerous. If you get behind the wheel while sleep deprived, it can cause serious damage to not just yourself, but others on the road around you. If someone is sleep deprived, they can experience lack of focus and slower reaction time. They can even doze off if they are not doing something active to keep them alert.

Our client was the first victim in the path of destruction left behind by a sleep deprived truck driver. The truck driver barreled through six nearly stopped vehicles at full speed. The truck driver never applied his brakes before violently crashing into our client. We later discovered that the truck driver was driving on little to no sleep as a result of being verbally reprimanded previously for taking too long of a sleep break in the days leading up to the crash. On top of it all, the defendant driver was severely underinsured for the magnitude of destruction.

Our attorneys stepped up to help make sure that the lack of insurance by the defendant would not impact our client’s justice. Attorneys Jennifer Neal, Caleb Rackley, Cesar Perez, Chloe Shrode, and Illiana Parker, along with their team, did everything they could to hold the defendant accountable. After a hard-fought battle, they ensured our client received a settlement to help assist in their road to recovery.

The team was not afraid of a challenge and rose to the occasion in order to help someone in need. Great job everyone!

Military Housing Verdict

Posted on June 27, 2023December 13, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

This month we had the opportunity to represent the Vinales family against one of the largest military housing landlords in a Federal Court trial located in our hometown, San Antonio. While stationed at Randolph Air Force Base from 2017-2019, the Vinales family rented on-base housing from AETC II Privatized Housing LLC and AETC II Property Managers LLC, which conduct business as Hunt Military Communities. The Vinales family experienced ongoing issues with mold, ant infestations, HVAC failures, and electrical problems, which the landlord failed to address properly.

Our team of partners, Bob Brzezinski, Jennifer Neal, Caleb Rackley, Alicia O’Neill, and Frank Guerra along with other attorneys and staff worked tirelessly in order to prove that the Vinales family did their part to uphold their end of the lease agreement. Last Friday, the hard work paid off, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of our clients. The Vinales family was finally able to experience justice from a living situation that plagued them for years and consumed their life when they were stationed in San Antonio. Jennifer Neal was ecstatic with the verdict, “This family has been put through the wringer at the hands of Hunt Military Communities—both while living in Hunt-managed housing and throughout this litigation process. I am glad to finally see the relief on their faces.”

This is the first of 16 cases involving families from Randolph and Laughlin Air Force Base that have similar allegations of the landlord failing to remediate mold and other issues. It was an honor representing Lt. Col Shane and Becky Vinales in our hometown—commonly referred to as Military City, USA–and being able to fight for a family that fights for our freedom each day. The countless hours that were put into this case helped set the precedent for future cases that arise with similar issues. Great job, team!

The Privacy and Legal Concerns of COVID-19 Tracking Apps

The current health pandemic is at the forefront of all of our minds, all of the time. You cannot turn on a news station, open a social media platform, or walk past a group of people without hearing someone discussing COVID-19. People are conducting their day to day lives with great caution as the threat of catching the coronavirus is all too real and has hit close to home for most of us. Masks are being worn, social distancing is being practiced, and trips are being postponed to help reduce the spread of the virus.
