$37.5 Million Dallas Verdict Against Oncor After a Two-Week Trial
Ryan Zehl tried this case for two weeks against Oncor Electrical Company. The Dallas jury awarded $37.5 million to the family of a truck driver killed on I-635 West.
His 18-wheeler was disabled, sitting between the shoulder and the far outside lane. He had climbed out to look the truck over. An Oncor lineman, driving a service truck, slammed into the back of it.
The last offer before trial was $5 million. Fees and expenses on the case were $9,120,000. The verdict is the largest trucking accident verdict in Dallas County in 2024.
How the traffic video answered Oncor’s claim that the trailer was in the lane, and the eight seconds the lineman spent off the road, is in the write-up of the largest Texas truck verdict of 2024. Same crash. Same $37.5 million.
