Our client was injured in a rear-end collision when the Defendant attempted to pass him at an excessive rate of speed. The Defendant attempted to pass our client to the left when he struck our client’s vehicle from behind, causing both vehicles to lose control. Our client’s vehicle spun, striking two trees and a brick wall, throwing our client and a passenger from the vehicle. Our client was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident but the force of the collision ejected him from the rear window of his vehicle. We were able to prove that at the time of this collision, the Defendant was driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol content of .281 percent, more than three times the legal limit in Texas. The Defendant also tested positive for marijuana.

Our client came to us after contacting several other attorneys and having his case rejected by those attorneys. Among the reasons given for rejecting his case our client was told that there would be inadequate insurance to take care of his medical bills in the past and in the future. He suffered a head injury and was left a quadriplegic as a result of the collision. Through our investigation we were able to to determine that there was actually millions of dollars in insurance coverage available as the drunk driver’s vehicle belonged to an insurance agent who had primary insurance coverage and then umbrella coverage as well. We also hired an expert in accident reconstruction who surveyed the scene. From the evidence gathered at the scene our reconstructionist was able to calculate that the drunk driver was traveling approximately 94 miles an hour in a 45 mph speed zone.

We helped our client obtain assistance from one of the nation’s leading brain injury rehabilitation facilities. We documented his therapy and progress on video which made for a compelling presentation to the drunk driver’s insurance company. We presented the reconstruction as well as the video and photos documenting our client’s injuries to the insurance company and the case settled before trial. As a result of the settlement, our client’s future medical needs are being met.
