Proven verdicts and settlements
A Bexar County jury found CPS Energy responsible for a May 2021 natural gas explosion that destroyed a rental home on San Antonio's southeast side and badly injured a mother and her adult son. The jury returned a $109.5 million verdict, but a pretrial high-low agreement between the parties capped CPS Energy's actual payment at $60 million regardless of the jury's number. Jurors cleared two contractor companies of fault and found the utility solely responsible for failing to maintain aging gas infrastructure. Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr and Michael Wozniak of Lyons & Simmons represented the family at trial.
