}}Adam Loewy is an American attorney.[1] He is a founder of the Loewy Law Firm in Austin, Texas.[2][3][4] Loewy represents people in cases involving serious personal injury or wrongful death.[5]

Career

Loewy grew up in St. Louis. He attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 2003.[6][1]

Loewy started the Loewy Law Firm in 2005. The firm's first client was a man from San Angelo, Texas, who was suing the city for police brutality.[6][1] He represents victims of car crashes, truck crashes, and other unique injuries.[6]

Loewy is an active philanthropist in the Austin community and has donated over $750,000 to Austin-area charities since 2015. In March 2018, he and his wife Phil donated $100,000 to the Jewish Federation of Austin, the largest single donor gift in the annual campaign's history.[7] Loewy is a major supporter of the Central Texas Food Bank and does an annual $25,000 gift match every summer. To date, the match has helped raise over $200,000 for the Food Bank.[8]

Notable cases

In 2006, Loewy represented the family of a fourteen-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by a nineteen-year-old she had met on MySpace. The family sued the site for $30 million.[3][9][10][11] All claims against the company were dismissed by Texas District Judge Sam Sparks stating that the Communications Decency Act of 1996 removes liability from MySpace regarding age verification.[3]

In 2007, Loewy represented the family of Kevin Alexander Brown. Brown was chased and shot by Sergeant Michael Olsen into an apartment complex after a staff member of a nightclub informed Olsen of a possible weapon in Brown's possession.[6] Olsen was given an indefinite suspension.[12] Loewy got the family a $1 million settlement in December 2008.[6]

In 2009, Loewy represented Yulonda and Nathaniel Sanders, the parents of Nathaniel Sanders II.[6][13] Sanders was shot and killed by Austin Police Department officer Lenny Quintana.[1][14][15] The suit claimed excessive deadly force.[15] An original settlement of $750,000 was rejected by the city council in 2010.[16] Loewy settled the federal lawsuit for $750,000 in 2011.[14]

In November 2013,[17] Loewy filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family of Noe Nino de Rivera against Sheriff Deputy Randy McMillan, Bastrop County, Texas and the Bastrop school district.[18] Rivera was tased while at school by Randy McMillan and Timothy Stalcup. He fell backwards onto a concrete floor and hit his head.[19] Rivera was taken to St. David's Hospital[18] and treated for a brain hemorrhage through a medically induced coma that lasted 52 days. He underwent several emergency operations and months of outpatient therapy.[20][21][19][17] Federal prosecutors did not pursue criminal charges against the deputies,[17] however Loewy settled the federal lawsuit for $775,000 at mediation.[22]

Loewy also represented the mother and stepfather of Larry Jackson Jr. in July 2013[23] after former APD Detective Charles Kleinert accidentally shot Jackson during a struggle. As Kleinert was questioning Jackson about why he misidentified himself to bank employees Jackson ran, Kleinert chased Jackson, enlisted the aid of a passing motorist, and followed on foot under a bridge.[24][25][26] Kleinert reported that the shooting was accidental.[26][27] After the incident, Kleinert retired from the police force.[28] He was indicted for manslaughter in May 2014. The Austin City Council approved a $1.25 million settlement to Jackson's children who were represented by a different attorney in August 2014.

In October 2015, the manslaughter charges against Kleinert were dismissed by United States District Judge Lee Yeakel on the grounds of Supremacy Clause Immunity.[29][30][31] Yeakel's decision was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in April 2017. In February 2016, Loewy settled the remaining claims of the Jackson family for $600,000.00. The combined settlement of $1.85 million paid to the Larry Jackson family is the largest police shooting settlement in the history of Austin.[32][33][34]

In August 2014, Loewy represented the parents of Alex Hermann, a 9-year-old who was struck by lightning while playing youth soccer.[35][36] Hermann suffered severe burns and permanent brain trauma[35] and was unable to speak, hear, talk, or move.[37] He was treated at Dell Children's Medical Center.[38] The lawsuit was filed to cover his medical bills and future care. The case was in April 2015 for an undisclosed amount.[35]

In 2017, Loewy represented Erika Saenz, an Austin woman who was catastrophically burned at a local restaurant.[39] The case was confidentially resolved with the restaurant's insurance company.

In 2017, Loewy represented the family of Jessica Port, an Austin woman killed in a motorcycle crash. The person who crashed into her worked for a well-known Austin company. The case was confidentially resolved. [40]
