Lyons & Simmons, LLP has secured more than $1 billion in verdicts and settlements for clients in a diverse range of catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death and product liability cases since 2023.
“We are a result-oriented law firm based on the needs of our clients,” says firm co-founder Michael Lyons. “We represent our clients with the understanding that for them, the result means everything. What these numbers demonstrate is that this law firm cares about the result just as much as it cares about the dignity and respect of our clients.”
Making their clients’ needs their top priority has guided Lyons & Simmons to enormous success through large verdicts and settlements.
In the spring of 2023, Michael Lyons was part of a trial team with Jason Itkin of Arnold & Itkin, LLP that secured a verdict in excess of $860 million on behalf of the family of a young woman killed when a construction tower crane tore through her downtown Dallas apartment building.
Over the past two years alone, the firm has secured hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for their clients in cases involving wrongful death and personal injuries in oilfield catastrophes, worksite incidents, trucking crashes, premises defects, medical negligence and other catastrophic personal injury cases.
Lyons & Simmons filed one of the first wrongful death cases stemming from the 2021 Astroworld Festival disaster that left 10 dead and thousands seriously injured. Michael Lyons and Chris Simmons played key roles as members of the plaintiffs’ MDL executive committee, handling key aspects of the case along with other talented committee members. In the summer of 2024 Lyons & Simmons reached confidential settlements with the key defendants in the case on behalf of the family of Danish Baig, one of the 10 who were tragically killed.
“Representing victims in complex personal injury and wrongful death cases is our focus, but most of our clients also hope that through our representation we can make meaningful change,” says co-founder Chris Simmons. “Change that incentivizes and compels large corporations and tortfeasors to keep employees and the public safe or there are serious financial consequences to their bottom line.”
