Derek Aswell successfully obtained $2.5 million for client left with catastrophic injuries

Our attorney, Derek Aswell, recently obtained $2.5 Million for his client in a products liability case. The client is still recovering from extreme injuries due to a machine malfunction on the job site but received favorable compensation thanks to Derek’s thoroughness on the case.

The plaintiff involved was a superintendent equipment operator who was subcontracted to crush rocks for a wind turbine farm in Texas. The cause of the accident occurred when rock material obstructed the machine which prevented it from operating properly. The plaintiff powered off the crushing chamber before attempting to clear the obstruction, but the rotor of the machine suddenly free- spun, sending the plaintiff through the crushing chamber. This incident caused horrific and life-threatening injuries.

Thanks to Derek and his team’s hard work and excellence on the case, he helped his client hire experts in design and biomechanics to prove the machine was dangerously designed and that the injuries were caused by the chamber. The case ultimately resulted in a $2.5 Million settlement for the plaintiff.

“This was a complex case compromising multiple defendants, numerous experts, and many different health care providers spanning multiple cities across Louisiana and Texas. I assisted Derek with coordinating depositions and meetings to ensure we were up to date and well versed in the facts and the lifesaving care of our client,” said Garrett Cook, Derek’s paralegal in the case.
