Proven verdicts and settlements
A Dimmit County, Texas jury found that a defective Goodyear tire caused a loaded cement truck to lose control and fatally strike Ramiro Munoz, the city manager of Carrizo Springs, in a June 2013 crash. The Munoz family sued Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., presenting testimony from Danville, Virginia plant workers about substandard manufacturing conditions behind the tire's tread separation. On February 22, 2019, the jury returned a $33 million verdict, finding the tire's manufacturing defect responsible for 90 percent of the cause of Munoz's death. Ammons Law Firm attorney John Gsanger tried the case for the family alongside co-counsel Brunkenhoefer P.C. Trade press covering the trial reported that Goodyear gave up its right to appeal under a confidential agreement struck before the verdict, and no appeal appears in Texas appellate court records.
