Hawkins Parnell & Young attorneys Warner Fox and Elliot Ream were recently successful in securing a premises liability defense verdict in favor of a gas station where a driver backed into a gas pump, knocking it onto the plaintiff.

According to Fox, a sympathetic jury panel and favorable facts both played a hand in helping his client get a successful result. “The biggest difficulty was the plaintiff was a completely innocent victim, so we couldn’t point the finger at [him] at all. He was a customer [and] my client cares deeply about their customers,” Fox said.
