Wrongful Death Verdict

Chapla v. Adair | San Jacinto County, Texas

A San Jacinto County jury awarded $10,000,000 to the plaintiffs in a wrongful death case on Monday. Mark and Ryan Wham of Wham & Rogers, PLLC, of The Woodlands, Texas, along with co-counsel Bennie Rush, of Huntsville, represented the parents of Marley Chapla, a 21-year-old college student who was killed when an 18-wheeler attempted to cross US-59 and blocked Ms. Chapla’s lane in the process. 

The plaintiffs alleged that the defendant, Curtis Adair, was responsible for the collision because he made an unsafe left across highway 59, blocking both southbound  lanes.  The defense argued that Marley Chapla was primarily responsible for her death, because she was driving at an excess rate of speed.   

The jury found that the truck driver was 75% responsible for Ms. Chapla’s death, and that Ms. Chapla was 25% responsible.

The jury awarded damages totaling $10,000,000.00, with $9,000,000.00 going to the parents for past and future mental anguish and loss of companionship with their daughter, and  $1,000,000.00 going to Ms. Chapla’s estate, for mental anguish she suffered prior to her death.

Testimonials

Almost two years ago I was involved in a terrible automobile accident. I was rear ended by a huge semi trailer truck on the way to work on FM 1960 in Houston Texas. I contacted lawyer Bennie Rush HUNTSVILLE Texas. Mr Rush, his staff, and family fought for my rights as the victim of a rear end collision. Going almost a year without pay because of injuries I sustained, having pain and suffering, surgeries and no vehicle I felt hopeless. Mr Rush and his staff, through my crying and worry, got me and my family what we deserve.Mr Rush got my bills paid, got my life and family back on track, with a settlement that would give relief of my burdens suffered after the car accident. If you need someone to fight for your rights, he’s your man!! He doesn’t give up until he gets all he can for you and your family! God Bless Lisa Ober and family.

Mr. HuntPremise Defect Case
Mr. Rush stayed in constant contact with us so we were always aware of the events concerning our case. Having Mr. Rush as our attorney was easy. There is always anxiety in legal situations but knowing your office was always “on top” of things helped relieve that. Everyone in your office made themselves available, were kind and courteous, and always responsed to my concerns and requests. I would give a five star rating!
Mr. & Mrs. StaffordAutomobile Collision Case
You stand by your clients. As for me, I was scared to death, and you calmed me down. You were there to answer all my silly questions, and I felt very good when I left your office. Both you and Leigh-Anne made me feel like family, and that means the world to me. You are the best. When my case was over, you told me we would always be friends. You are awesome.
