Missing a Deadline By 41 Minutes May Cost One of Jerry Jones’ Attorneys Millions of Dollars

By on May 25, 2018 in Litigation-Business

Missing a deadline by 41 minutes was all it took to turn a $250,000 settlement offer in a personal injury case into a $5.5 million jury verdict that has since grown with interest to about $7 million and counting, reports The Dallas Morning News.

Reporter Kevin Krause explains: “The lawyer who failed to timely accept that offer in writing is Levi G. McCathern II, who also represents the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones. His mistake in the personal injury case could end up putting a small, family-owned trucking company out of business, according to court records.”

The company sued McCathern, claiming his alleged legal malpractice led to the “ruinous” jury verdict.
