Cameron County Trials

At Brock Person Guerra Reyna, we have tried hundreds of cases over the years, too many to include in this website. We have, however, chosen to include each of those cases governed by a jury verdict where the amount sought was in excess of $500,000. It is important to note that we have included every case tried under this broad category, not just select verdicts.

Reyna v. Kemper Lloyds Insurance Company (Cameron County) Plaintiff sued his employer for wrongful termination and other causes of action. Defendant denied coverage under the General Liability policy issued to Plaintiff's employer. Plaintiff and his employer entered into an agreed judgment and assignment of rights. Plaintiff then took the assignment of rights and sued Kemper for failure to defend and failure to settle, claiming bad faith and violations of the Texas Insurance Code and Texas DTPA. The Plaintiff asked the jury to award $8,400,000. The pre-trial demand was $8,400,000. The pre-trial offer was $0. The jury returned a zero verdict in favor of the Defendant.

Fajardo v. Stevenson's Appliances, Inc. (Cameron County) Plaintiff purchased a new dryer from Defendant. After the installation, Plaintiff called Defendant to complain that the dryer was not working properly (taking too long to dry clothes). On two occasions, Defendant came to the Plaintiff's home on a service call. Four days after the second service call, the dryer caught fire and the condominium burned to the ground (along with all contents). The Plaintiff hired four liability experts. The Defendant hired none. The property damage was $300,000. The Plaintiff asked the jury to award $1,000,000. The pre-trial demand was $500,000. The pre-trial offer was $100,000.
