Jesus and Rachel’s Policy Limit Settlement

In April, Jesus and Rachel were driving south on Paso Real towards Business 77 in San Benito, Texas. At Paso Real and Business 77, alternating traffic signals direct vehicles to stop and proceed into the intersection. Before entering the intersection, Jesus and Rachel had a green light. Unfortunately, a second driver ran her red light and crashed into Jesus and Rachel’s vehicle.

Intersection cases can be tricky to resolve because both drivers often claim to have had the right-of-way. In this case, the responding police officer conducted an on-scene investigation to determine who ran the red light. Fortunately, the officer located two eyewitnesses who confirmed that the other driver had a red light. Based on the eyewitnesses’ narratives, the officer attributed the second driver’s disregarding the red traffic signal as the collision’s only contributing factor and issued her a citation.

After the collision, Jesus and Rachel learned about my law firm while conducting an online search for local accident attorneys and retained my firm to represent them. My staff immediately began gathering all the documents needed to prove that the at-fault driver’s running the red light caused Jesus and Rachel to incur unnecessary pain and medical expenses. After reviewing the documentation, the liability carrier agreed to tender the driver’s policy limits (i.e., the maximum available amount of compensation) to settle their claims.
