Nix Patterson Wins $4.3M in Slip and Fall Case for Disabled Veteran

Brad Beckworth, partner, led the jury to their decision along with partners Drew Pate and Trey Duck. The team represented the disabled veteran from Laredo, Texas, who had pre-existing conditions but suffered life-altering injuries from a fall in the shower at the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio, Texas.

Nix Patterson’s Austin-based legal team, known for their meticulous attention to detail and relentless pursuit of justice for their wide-range of clients, has won a significant jury verdict exceeding $4.3 million in a slip and fall case. Brad Beckworth, partner, led the jury to their decision along with partners Drew Pate and Trey Duck. The team represented a disabled veteran from Laredo, Texas, who had pre-existing conditions but suffered life-altering injuries from a fall in the shower at the St. Anthony Hotel in San Antonio, Texas.

The jury found that the veteran’s injuries—which included a severely injured shoulder, broken teeth, and significantly aggravated PTSD—were caused by the unreasonably slippery nature of the St. Anthony’s showers, a condition that the hotel had long known about, as evidenced by a large volume of similar injuries and complaints. As a result of trial counsel’s exceptional advocacy skills, the Bexar County jury awarded the veteran a $4.36 million verdict, including punitive damages, highlighting the severity of the St. Anthony Hotel’s indifference.

The jury’s unanimous decision and award warn businesses throughout Central and South Texas that dangerous conditions must be fixed promptly to prevent foreseeable injuries. The verdict included $546,667 for future medical expenses, $200,000 for past physical pain, $200,000 for future physical pain, $20,000 for past mental anguish, $100,000 for future mental anguish, $300,000 for past physical impairment, $500,000 for future physical impairment, and $2,500,000 in exemplary damages.

This result provides the injured veteran and his family the hope and security they deserve. It also serves as a deterrent to other businesses, emphasizing the consequences of ignoring patterns of injuries on their premises. Nix Patterson’s success underscores the importance of seeking experienced trial representation in premises liability cases.
