Our client was an innocent passenger in a vehicle at a red light when a company van blew a red light on the opposite side of a busy intersection near Kemah, Texas. After the company van ran the stop sign and collided with other vehicles in the intersection, he slammed into our client’s vehicle, which was stopped at the red light. The impact was 100% on the passenger side of the vehicle. Both of our client’s legs were severely fractured, and she was Life-Flighted from the scene after being extracted from the Honda civic she was sitting in at the time of impact. Our client underwent months of painful physical therapy in a nursing home facility in Clear Lake. Making her home accessible required massive renovations. Front and back door ramps were installed to support wheelchair access. Bathroom and shower modifications were also needed to accommodate her mobility needs. The litigation process discovered that the national corporation responsible for hiring this driver had failed to check his driving history in his previous state of residency, which would have revealed a long history of traffic violations. The driver was in a distracted rush on the morning of the wreck because he was late for a job, and it was apparent that the driver was using his phone. Poor management led to hiring a driver who should never have been allowed to operate a company van on the public road. After nearly two years of litigation and significant discovery, our legal team achieved a fair and reasonable settlement for our client for the available insurance policy limits.
