Railroads
Callis v. Southern Pacific Railroad: One of his first multi-million
dollar settlements was Larry Callis. The Southern Pacific Railroad employee
lost both legs and an arm when he was run over by a runaway train car. A Los
Angeles law firm suggested the young Yuma family could get as much as $300,000
in a trial. Brewer obtained an out-of-court settlement of $1.8 million in five
(5) months.
