Negligent Driver Causes Accident

Our client was a retired corporate lawyer who worked at a major Texas law firm.  In October of 2011, she was driving near the medical center when a careless driver turned in front of her and failed to yield the right of way, thereby causing a serious wreck which required months of medical treatment.  The at-fault driver attempted to blame our client for driving too fast and made excuses that the curve in the road prevented him from seeing our client, but he finally conceded fault in his deposition.  Although our client was a lawyer, these type of cases require the expertise of experienced personal injury attorneys who know the tricks of insurance defense attorneys.  Here, her lack of legal knowledge in this area was taken advantage of by the other lawyer.  Fortunately, she came to us in time and we were able to resolve her claim for a fair and reasonable sum.
