$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!

$3.34 Million Arbitration Award

Posted on April 14, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

An employer who retains control over the security and safety of the workplace has a duty to use ordinary care to protect employees from criminal acts of third parties if it knows or has reason to know of unreasonable risk and foreseeable risk of harm to the employee.

Our client was being threatened by her abusive ex-boyfriend. She changed her residence, her car, her routines – everything except her workplace to hide from her abusive ex-boyfriend. She asked her employer for permission to change the store she worked at to any one of at least 47 other stores, but the employer did not approve her request.

Despite admitting to foreseeing the risk of harm, a violent act, and an assault on our client by her ex-boyfriend at her place of employment, her employer denied the request to move her and promised to keep her safe.

Our client relied on her employer’s promise to keep her safe. However, in the end, the employer admitted to doing absolutely nothing to keep her safe. Our client’s ex-boyfriend found her at the only place he knew to find her – her place of employment — and killed her.

Mark, Bailey, along with their team tirelessly worked on this case to obtain justice for $3.34 million for our client. Through all of the controversy that surrounded the case, the team was able to obtain an arbitration award for the surviving family. Although it can never replace the person who was lost, we are proud of our team for not letting an employer’s poor actions go unpunished. Keep fighting the good fight, team!
