About the In-Depth Accident Investigation and Strong Case Preparation Necessary to Win Compensation for the Surviving Family
Continued from Part 1. The law firm of Denena Points, PC and their co-counsel Tony Taft traveled across the country to take more than 24 depositions; interview witnesses; and confer with the U.S. CPSC (Consumer Product safety Commission) to learn the reason for failure of the locking mechanism on the lap bar that had released Mr. Greenhouse from his seat during the Hi-Miler roller coaster ride.
The thorough work on the case by our attorneys for Texas roller coaster deaths discovered that a single set screw secured the pin holding the locking latch pin in place. And that screw, due to alleged negligent maintenance, had been found out of place after the fatal fall of Brian Greenhouse from the roller coaster. Without proper positioning of the screw, the latch pin didn’t work, and the lap bar was not secure. And so Mr. Greenhouse could meet a tragic and untimely end due to a single screw.
The physical forces that could combine on the evening of March 20, 2011, after a long day of roller coaster operations that had possibly moved that screw out of place, led the lap bar to release Mr. Greenhouse and the Hi-Miler roller coaster to eject him from his seat at the crest of a hill to endure a terrible, fatal fall.
Our Attorneys for Texas Roller Coaster Deaths at Denena Points, PC won the Case for Mr. Greenhouse’s Family
Ray Cammack Shows and the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo denied wrongdoing throughout the case, but had no defense to the various witnesses who testified that the very same lap bar in the very same car from which Mr. Greenhouse had been ejected had spontaneously released on their rides as well.
So despite strenuous efforts from Ray Cammack Shows and the Houston Rodeo to deny their liability, in the end our attorneys for Texas roller coaster deaths were able to obtain a $2.7 million settlement from them for the surviving family of Brian Greenhouse. Money can never replace the love, wisdom, and life experience of a father, but at least Mr. Greenhouse’s young son has some foundation upon which to build a successful future.
