BRACKETT v. URBIETTA OIL & HDEZ OIL
On Christmas Day, Darrell Brackett was traveling home when his car ran out of gas. Brackett made a trip to a nearby gas station to fill up his container when he was ambushed by a gang of men who doused him in gas and set him on fire. Brackett suffered severe burns on 75 percent of his body and ultimately succumbed to his injuries on the day after Valentine’s Day. The family was awarded $5.5 Million following a settlement against the station’s owner.
