King County Jury Awards $30.5M in CHOP Wrongful‑Death Case Against City of Seattle

A King County jury has awarded nearly $31 million to the family of 16‑year‑old Antonio Mays Jr., concluding the City of Seattle was negligent in how it managed the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP) zone. Mays was shot during the protest zone period, and the family’s wrongful‑death suit argued the area was effectively abandoned by police and that delays in emergency response contributed to his death.Jurors agreed, returning a verdict in the family’s favor.According to trial reporting, Mays was shot in the CHOP zone on June 29, 2023. No suspects have been identified or arrested. The suit claimed the zone’s security and access policies created dangerous conditions and slowed first‑responder access. The verdict places liability on the city for its handling of the zone and its response protocols during the incident.A spokesperson for the Seattle City Attorney’s Office said the city would assess its options going forward, signaling the possibility of post‑trial motions or appeal. For now, the jury’s decision stands as a major wrongful‑death verdict tied to municipal response and public‑safety management during the protests.

Hays County Jury Awards $46M After Oilfield Worker Run Over at Devon Energy Site

Jurors placed 90% of fault on driver Gerald Walker and 10% on John Dotson Trucking, citing reckless conduct that killed 34-year-old Andrew West during a 2019 aggregate delivery southeast of San Antonio.A Hays County jury has awarded $46 million to the parents of Andrew West, a 34-year-old oilfield worker who was run over and killed at a Devon Energy well site in DeWitt County. Trial evidence showed truck driver Gerald Walker accelerated sharply without confirming West’s location, striking him with the rear of his trailer and leaving the scene until Colorado Materials supervisors ordered him back. Jurors found Walker negligent and determined John Dotson Trucking shared liability because Walker was operating under its control for Colorado Materials at the time.The verdict includes $20 million for the pain and mental anguish West suffered before he died, plus $13 million each to his parents for loss of companionship and mental anguish. Walker was assigned 90% of the responsibility, with 10% on his employer. “This verdict reflects the jury’s understanding that when someone’s reckless conduct takes a life, there must be accountability,” plaintiff’s attorney Rusty Hardin said. West’s last words “Tell my mom I love her. Tell my dad I love him” were relayed to the jury to underscore the human loss.
