As Texas Lawyer reported, famed plaintiffs attorney John O’Quinn was scheduled to fly out of Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport last Thursday morning when he abruptly changed his mind, drove away in an SUV and died after hitting a tree. Neil McCabe, an attorney with The O’Quinn Law Firm in Houston, says O’Quinn was on his way to San Antonio to have a meeting on an internal matter involving his client Overstock.com. “He was going home to get some papers that he didn’t have with him,” McCabe says today. “And he was going to catch a later flight.” McCabe says, “I prepped him for the meeting, but I was not asked to go.”
