Texas firm behind $640M verdict says real change starts with citizen action and jury service
The Buzbee Law Firm, a nationally recognized litigation firm based in Texas, is calling on citizens, business leaders, and jurors to take a more active role in holding corporations accountable for negligence and misconduct. In a newly featured article titled "How Landmark Verdicts Like the $640M Loree Case Are Reshaping Corporate Accountability in America," the firm reflects on the implications of the historic wrongful death verdict they secured earlier this year-and what it means for everyday people.

"When a jury delivers a $640 million verdict, it's not just about compensation-it's about consequences," a firm representative said. "It's about signaling that companies can't ignore safety without facing serious repercussions."

The firm's message is clear: meaningful accountability starts in communities-not just in courtrooms, but in workplaces, homes, and on juries.

A Wake-Up Call for Corporate America

The Loree v. TNT Crane & Rigging case captured national attention when a Houston jury awarded $640 million-including $480 million in punitive damages-after David Lester Loree II was killed during a crane operation. The defendant's initial settlement offer was just $6.9 million. The jury's decision sent a powerful message.

"The jury didn't just want to make the family whole," The Buzbee Law Firm stated. "They wanted to tell every company watching: if you cut corners and someone gets hurt, you will be held accountable."

According to the National Center for State Courts, civil juries now return verdicts in favor of plaintiffs nearly 60% of the time in workplace injury and wrongful death cases-up from 52% just a few years ago. Meanwhile, the average jury award in these cases has increased 40% since 2015.

What You Can Do Right Now

The Buzbee Law Firm isn't asking for donations or proposing legislation. Instead, they are encouraging everyday Americans to take five simple actions that can drive systemic change:

*
Serve When Called: "Jury duty isn't a burden-it's a responsibility. Jurors are the last line of defense when corporations fail the public."

*
Speak Up in the Workplace: Identify and report unsafe conditions. Encourage transparency and accountability at every level.

*
Vote for Oversight: Elect officials who prioritize consumer safety and corporate regulation.

*
Support Transparency: Elevate stories of corporate misconduct and legal reform. Awareness breeds action.

*
Audit Internally: Business leaders should review safety protocols and training now-before a verdict forces their hand.

"You don't need to be in a courtroom to protect your community," the firm noted. "You just need to care enough to act-wherever you are."

Making Negligence Too Expensive to Ignore

The firm believes large verdicts like the one in Loree are key to real change-not because they destroy companies, but because they force decision-makers to rethink how they measure risk.

"After a major verdict, we often see companies overhaul training programs, replace leadership, and install new safety systems," The Buzbee Law Firm said. "Not because they want to-but because they have to."

A Texas Case with National Consequences

The Loree verdict is already influencing how corporations and attorneys approach risk management and trial strategy nationwide. But for The Buzbee Law Firm, the broader takeaway is about community power.

"This case wasn't just about Texas. It was about what happens when ordinary people-jurors, workers, voters-demand better. That's how real accountability begins."
