Barry & Loewy LLP Settles 18-Wheeler Accident Case for $600,000
Barry & Loewy LLP has settled an 18-wheeler accident case for $600,000 on behalf of a Houston-area man. The man was rear-ended while sitting at a red light and had to undergo a back surgery as a result of the incident. In discovery, Barry & Loewy LLP was able to show that the 18-wheeler company had destroyed key documents related to the crash and this exponentially increased the value of the case. This case was severely complicated by the fact the man had extensive pre-existing conditions and problematic pre-injury medical records. The case was in the very conservative venue of Smith County.

Barry & Loewy LLP was able to show the police report was wrong and the 18-wheeler was arguably at fault.

18-Wheeler Accident Lawsuit for $435,000
Barry & Loewy LLP has settled a truck accident
lawsuit for a San Antonio family. The family was
seriously injured when an 18-wheeler driving
northbound on IH-35 lost control, flew over the
median, and slammed into the family as they were
going southbound.

$250,000 to settle the case but as a direct result
of Barry & Loewy LLP’s litigation efforts, the truck
company agreed to settle the case for $435,000. The
medical bills in the case totaled less than $30,000,
so the final settlement was almost 15 times higher
than the medical bills.

Barry & Loewy LLP Settles
Trucking Accident Wrongful Death Case in Austin
Barry & Loewy LLP has settled a wrongful death
case involving an 18-wheeler tractor trailer that
ran over and killed a 71-year-old man who was
crossing an intersection in Austin, Texas.
The man was crossing the intersection at Ben White Boulevard and the outer road of IH-35. The driver of the 18-wheeler tractor missed the curved turnoff and pulled up to the intersection. He then made a very dangerous right hand turn and clipped the man as he was walking across the street. The truck’s back tires ran over and killed the man. The case was complicated by eyewitness testimony stating that the 71-year-old was not paying attention and that he allegedly walked into the truck.
Lead counsel, Carl R. Barry, settled the case for a confidential amount days before it was set to go to trial. The settlement is believed to be one of the largest contributory negligence truck-pedestrian wrongful death settlement in Austin in the past ten (10) years.

Barry & Loewy LLP Settles Police Brutality
Lawsuit in San Angelo, TX
Barry & Loewy LLP has settled a civil rights
violations lawsuit involving police brutality in San
Angelo, TX.
The case involved a man who was arrested by San Angelo police and taken to the Tom Green County Jail. While at the jail, the police officers laid the handcuffed man on the ground and then repeatedly kicked and beat the man with a police baton. The beating was so brutal that is caused the man’s colon to perforate and he was forced to defecate into a colostomy bag for four (4) months.
This was a very challenging lawsuit because the police officers denied beating the man. Lead counsel, Adam Loewy, had to rely solely on circumstantial evidence to force the City of San Angelo to the negotiating table. After lengthy and high pressure negotiations, the case was settled for a confidential amount.

Barry & Loewy LLP Wins $262,500.00 Verdict in New
Braunfels, Texas
On October 26, 2007, after a 5-day jury trial, Barry &
Loewy LLP won a $262,500.00 verdict for its client, Randy
Patton, in the 207th Judicial District Court of Comal
County, Texas.
Mr. Patton had entered an employment compensation agreement whereby he would be awarded 5% of the gross sales price of a golf course when it sold in exchange for managing the golf course, and other duties. The golf course owner, Dar-Sheng Chen, and his lawyer, Diego Lopez, concocted a plan to deny Mr. Patton his 5% compensation and disgracefully cancelled the agreement right before the golf course sold. Thereafter, they refused to pay Mr. Patton the money he was owed.
The jury found the golf course owner and his lawyer (in his corporate representative capacity) liable for breach of contract and fraud, and ordered them to pay Mr. Patton $262,500.00. The jury also found against the Defendants on all of their counterclaims.
Comal County is one of the most conservative counties in Central Texas and this is believed to be the largest verdict in recent memory in the county. Disbursement of funds will take pending resolution of appeal.
Randy Patton said: “I appreciate everything that Barry & Loewy LLP has done for me. I will never forget it. Adam and Carl were relentless and refused to lose. I thank God I found these guys to represent me.”

Barry & Loewy LLP Wins Business Lawsuit for Austin
Monthly Magazine
Austin Monthly Magazine is a very popular magazine that
has been published since 1993. In early 2006, a rival
publisher started “Austin Magazine.” This new magazine was
designed to look substantially similar to Austin Monthly
Magazine. The publishers of “Austin Magazine” designed their
magazine in this way in an attempt to confuse the public and
carve in Austin Monthly’s readership base.
The owners of Austin Monthly Magazine hired Barry & Loewy LLP to bring suit against Austin Magazine on the grounds of trademark infringement, unfair competition and tortuous interference.
As a direct result of Barry & Loewy LLP’s litigation tactics, the publishers of ‘Austin Magazine’ decided to shut down the magazine and close their business. This was a total victory for Austin Monthly Magazine. The lawsuit put a rival magazine out of business.
Lyn Brady, Austin Monthly Magazine’s Publisher, commented on Barry & Loewy LLP’s performance by stating, “I want to express our sincere appreciation for the work you did for us on our lawsuit. It was a frustrating situation and you made it as easy as it could have been. Thank you for helping us win and protect our business.”
