Proven verdicts and settlements

$49 millionVerdict

An Ector County jury found OPG Logistics, LLC and its driver, Biorkys Sanchez Fernandez, grossly negligent in a January 2025 collision on FM 307 near Midland, Texas, that killed 29-year-old Steffan Robert Mick, a husband, father of two young children, and maintenance technician at ProPetro Services. In May 2026 the jury awarded Mick's widow, children, and parents a combined $49 million, including $40.5 million in compensatory damages and $8.5 million in punitive damages, after evidence showed Sanchez had been on duty more than 15 hours and driving more than 12 without a break at the time of the crash. Jurors assigned 65 percent of responsibility to OPG Logistics and 35 percent to Sanchez. Rob Ammons and Elizabeth H. Lawrence of The Ammons Law Firm, with co-counsel Brian Carney, represented the family.
