Bexar County jury awards $82 million to family of UTSA grad killed in drunk driving crash
A Bexar County jury last week awarded $81.72 million to the parents of Taylor McCowan, a San Antonio nursing student killed in a 2020 car accident by a deputy U.S. Marshal who was convicted of driving drunk. The verdict in the wrongful death suit, awarded April 29, is the largest for mental anguish in U.S. history, according to Markland LLP, the law firm representing McCowan's family. “Although this verdict does nothing to bring her back, we are now able to properly memorialize Taylor’s contributions as a citizen of the world and continue her mission,” mother Raquel Hatch said in a statement.
