On Edna Anderson’s 100th birthday, Tarrant County 153rd District Judge Ken Curry signed a $1.1 million final judgment in her favor in a negligence suit against the independent living complex, where she resided, and affiliated parties, says her lawyer Brian Butcher.
Butcher, an associate with Hurst’s Noteboom The Law Firm, says he persuaded the jury to award Anderson compensatory and punitive damages by saying less, rather than more, about what she deserved during closing argument.
