Seven-Figure Settlement Awarded to Festival Attendee in Landmark Negligence Case

HOUSTON - July 16, 2024 - PRLog -- The Law Offices of Colby Lewis is proud to announce a significant victory in a high-profile personal injury case against Texas Renaissance Festival, Inc. After a relentless legal battle spanning several years, our firm has secured a confidential seven-figure settlement for our client in Cause No. 2020-08543. This case was heard in Harris County, Texas's 190th Judicial District Court. This settlement marks a substantial triumph in the fight for justice and accountability.

A Battle Against Negligence and Injustice

On October 6, 2019, at the Texas Renaissance Festival campground, our client endured a traumatic incident due to inadequate safety measures. While sleeping in his tent, he was struck by an SUV, resulting in severe and permanent injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This catastrophic event was a direct result of the festival's failure to implement proper safety measures, such as adequate lighting, clear separation of camping and vehicle areas, and effective supervision of guests.

Legal Hurdles and Persistent Efforts

Throughout the litigation process, Texas Renaissance Festival consistently attempted to evade responsibility, failing to comply with basic discovery requests and court orders. Our firm logged over 2,800 hours meticulously reviewing documents, preparing motions, and conducting depositions to overcome these obstructive tactics. The court recognized the festival's deliberate delays and ordered compliance, highlighting their negligence beyond the incident itself.

Exposing Egregious Conduct

In an attempt to divert attention and delay proceedings, Texas Renaissance Festival filed a baseless motion to disqualify Colby Lewis. This was in response to a $2 million dollar motion for sanctions against them for their egregious conduct. Despite these challenges, our unwavering dedication led to a successful negotiation of a confidential seven-figure settlement.

Achieving Justice and Accountability

"I am incredibly happy for our client who has been through so much. This case was a testament to fighting for justice, no matter how long it takes or how difficult the road may be," said Colby Lewis, lead attorney. "Texas Renaissance Festival's repeated attempts to dodge responsibility only strengthened our resolve."
