Proven verdicts and settlements
A federal jury in Casper found Chevron U.S.A. Inc. negligent in the February 2014 death of truck driver Thomas Coffey, who fell while loading molten sulfur from a three rail safety cage at Chevron's Glencoe Terminal near Kemmerer, Wyoming. The bottom rail of the cage was missing. The jury awarded Coffey's widow, Sharon Coffey, $1.2 million in wrongful death damages and apportioned fault at 63 percent to Chevron, 37 percent to Coffey's employer, and none to Coffey. Because Wyoming makes each actor answerable only for its own share of fault, the court entered judgment against Chevron for $756,000, which Chevron paid within the month. Noah W. Drew and Tyson Logan of The Spence Law Firm represented the widow.
