$13,671 Motor Vehicle Accident Case

A negligence lawsuit arose from a car accident involving a plaintiff and a defendant. On March 9, 2015, the plaintiff filed a petition in County Court No. 4 for Collin County, Texas, seeking to recover damages for injuries sustained in the incident. During the proceedings, the plaintiff attempted to establish past medical expenses through affidavits from medical providers. The defendant challenged the plaintiff's entitlement to these damages by filing a counter-affidavit. The plaintiff's subsequent motion to strike the counter-affidavit was denied on November 19, 2015. The matter proceeded to trial, and on January 6, 2016, a jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury awarded $41,500 in damages, which included $35,000 for past medical expenses. An appellate court later affirmed the trial court's decision.

On December 11, 2017, a vehicle carrying two plaintiffs, a driver and a front-seat passenger, was struck from behind on Interstate 380 in Collin County, Texas. The plaintiffs subsequently sued the driver of the trailing vehicle, alleging negligence in the operation of her vehicle. The defendant driver conceded liability for the collision, and the trial proceeded solely on the issues of the plaintiffs' injuries and damages. Both plaintiffs claimed neck and back disc herniations, sought emergency room treatment, underwent chiropractic care, and reported residual pain and limitations in daily activities. They sought to recover damages for past and future medical costs, past and future pain and suffering, and past and future physical impairment. Following a three-day trial, a jury deliberated for two hours before awarding the driver plaintiff $25,016 in damages and the passenger plaintiff $25,273 in damages. The total award was $50,289.
