Webb 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.

McDonald’s Restaurants (Webb County) Plaintiff sued for injuries sustained after biting into a hamburger and puncturing her lip with a two inch portion of a hypodermic needle which was imbedded in the hamburger pattie. Plaintiff was with her young daughter at the time and two eyewitnesses confirmed Plaintiff’s account.

The pre-trial demand was $1,000,000. The pre-trial offer was $5,000. The jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff in the amount of $1,000.
