Zehl & Associates Case Ranked No. 1 Truck Accident Verdict in Texas for 2024

$37.5 million accident recovery recognized by TopVerdict.com

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Houston-based personal injury law firm Zehl & Associates PC is being recognized for its stellar work in a truck accident wrongful death case by TopVerdict.com. The online publication has listed the case – Baldish Kaur, et al. v. Oncor Electric Delivery Company NTU LLC, et al. – as the No. 1 truck accident verdict in Texas for 2024, securing $37.5 million.

Zehl & Associates represented the family of truck driver Shamsher Singh. Mr. Singh was killed after his 18-wheeler broke down on the shoulder of I-635 West in Dallas. He had been out of his vehicle for less than a minute to inspect it when an Oncor service truck slammed into his 18-wheeler. Video evidence at trial showed that the other driver was distracted behind the wheel when he veered into the tractor trailer.

“This crash was completely preventable. Our goal, all along, was to prove what really happened so that our clients could get the justice they deserved. Our truck accident lawyers took over 30 depositions and spent over 2 weeks in trial against one of the largest energy companies in the U.S. to make sure preventable tragedies like this one don’t happen again,” said firm founding partner Ryan Zehl.

The case was heard in the 160th Civil District Court of Dallas County. The case number is DC-21-12096.
