Victim of 3-Car Accident Sues Driver for Negligence
A case was presented in a Texas district court on a recent Monday in the aftermath of a collision that involved three automobiles. One of the injured victims in the accident has filed the legal claim against another of the motorists involved in the crash. The 2013 car accident was allegedly caused by one driver’s failure to control speed.
The woman who filed the legal claim was reportedly heading northbound on the road when the accident occurred. A motor vehicle crashed into another car, which, in turn, struck the woman’s vehicle from behind. She was injured in the collision and has sued for damages in light of her personal injury and injury to her personal property.
The woman’s lawsuit alleges that the driver of the car that appears to have caused the chain-reaction collision failed to control his speed and should, therefore, be held liable for vehicular negligence. Part of the woman’s claim suggests that the defendant should have implemented evasion action in order to avoid a collision. Accident reports listed failure to control speed as a leading factor in the cause of the crash.
Legal Damages can Include Medical Expenses, Attorney Fees, and More
As in this case, a person injured in a car accident in Texas is able to seek compensation for damages that might include medical expenses, attorney fees and recompense for physical or emotional injuries. A person is entitled to represent himself or herself in court if he or she so chooses. However, many accident victims choose to act under the advice and guidance of a legal professional who has experience in motor vehicle accident cases.
