Maron Marvel Dallas attorneys Carlos Ramirez and Tanica Mann recently secured a significant trial victory in Odessa, Texas on behalf of client Flores Trucking, insured through MDX Insurance.
The case involved a trucking accident in which the plaintiff alleged that Flores' driver crossed into her lane and caused serious injuries. In addition to approximately $33,000 in past medical expenses, the plaintiff presented a "Life Care Plan" expert projecting extensive future treatment, including surgery, and ultimately asked the jury to award $1.5 million in damages.
Carlos and Tanica vigorously challenged the plaintiff's claims, particularly the Life Care Plan, effectively cross-examining the expert both in deposition and before the jury. After four days of testimony of multiple experts for both sides, the jury returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff only $75,000 and finding her 30% responsible for the accident.
