Terry Bryant Law Firm Wins Record Verdict for Clients
The Terry Bryant Law Firm has won a record verdict of $29 million for a Spring couple severely injured in an auto crash.
That verdict of $29,391,378 in Coldspring, Texas, is the largest ever given in San Jacinto County.
Recipients of that award are Kent and Tamara Peterson, both of whom suffered serious injuries from the crash near Brenham last year. Tamara Peterson had a massive stroke a few days after the wreck and now suffers severe cognitive problems and the permanent loss of the use of her left side. She will require lifelong care.
On behalf of the Petersons, Bryant sued the driver of the pickup truck who hit them, Gary Wayne Gibbs, and his employer, Universal Cable Holdings, for whom he was working at the time of the accident.
“We are gratified to be able to win this decision for the Petersons,” said Bryant. “They face massive bills for their medical care in the future. No amount of money can restore them to their previous lives but at least now they know they will be able to get the care they need.”
Kent Peterson said he was overjoyed at the jury’s decision.
“This takes a huge weight off my shoulders,” said Peterson. “It will make a big difference in taking care of my wife.
“The Terry Bryant Law Firm was fantastic,” Peterson continued. “They have my sincere gratitude.”
The crash occurred March 28, 2006, on Highway 105 near Brenham when the Petersons were returning home from a weekend outing. Gibbs’ pickup truck crossed the center line of the highway and hit the Petersons’ Saturn. Both Petersons had multiple serious fractures. Kent Peterson had to have his wrist fused. He is unable to return to his job as an airline mechanic because of that injury. Tamara Peterson’s stroke has left her institutionalized for nearly the entire time since the accident.
Bryant sued Gibbs and Universal Cable Holdings in San Jacinto County, where Gibbs lived at the time. The trial in the 411th District Court in Coldspring took four days. The defendants agreed that they were responsible for the wreck on the first day of the trial, so the trial was held only to determine damages.
