HOUSTON, June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon Perdue Law announces a significant courtroom victory, securing a $15.5 million damage finding for one client in the first bellweather trial arising from the catastrophic and fatal 2020 Watson Grinding & Manufacturing warehouse explosion in Houston's Spring Branch neighborhood. This substantial award represents the largest individual share of a collective $38 million verdict issued to five plaintiffs stemming from the tragic industrial disaster.

The verdict for Simon Perdue's client, who was diagnosed with severe PTSD and explosion-related migraine, meticulously broke down the profound impact of their suffering, with the jury awarding:

• $1 million for past physical pain
• $2 million for future physical pain
• $3.5 million for past mental anguish
• $9 million for future mental anguish

Simon Perdue Law firmly refused to settle for anything less than their client's rightful compensation, taking the case to court where the jury ultimately recognized the full scope of their extensive suffering and losses.

"When corporations and their insurers attempt to evade accountability for severe negligence, we are prepared to step in and fight rigorously on behalf of our clients. This outcome underscores that juries are willing to hold those responsible fully accountable for the devastation they cause."
