One of the earliest cases I ever handled was a construction accident case here in the Houston Medical Center. My client was working for the general contractor and the subcontractor come along and taken down the safety rails around an open elevator shaft. And then when they put them back up they just put them back up they looked like they were secure but they actually weren’t secure. And so he leaned against one, fell into the elevator shaft.

And what really made that case interesting was the company that did it denied it from the very beginning. We were able to prove, again, through statements that were taken early on as well as deposition testimony and expert testimony that they were the only ones that ever touched those. So that was one of the very first cases and got a big time jury verdict in that case of nearly $4 million.
