Settling Christopher's Liability Auto Claim
In September 2020, Christoper exited U.S. Highway 77 onto the northbound frontage road in Harlingen as a second driver traveled in the middle lane of the frontage road. Unfortunately, the second driver failed to notice Christopher in his blindspot, merged into Christopher’s lane, and struck his car. The impact pushed both vehicles over the curb and off the roadway and caused the at-fault driver’s airbags to deploy. The driver traveling immediately behind Christopher witnessed the collision, called 911, and informed the responding police officer that the at-fault driver’s unsafe lane change caused the collision. After an investigation, the officer attributed 100% responsibility for the collision to the other driver.
The force of the impact caused Christopher to experience pain throughout his neck and back. He tried to alleviate his symptoms using over-the-counter medication, but his pain did not go away. Christopher eventually went to an urgent care facility and received imaging studies of his cervical spine. After his discharge, Christopher underwent physical therapy and later received several pain injections, including an epidural steroid injection in his neck.
Christopher’s wife discovered my law firm while searching for local accident attorneys online. After Christopher retained my firm, my office immediately began gathering the evidence necessary to show that the at-fault driver’s negligence caused the collision and Christopher’s resulting injuries. This process included contacting the witness and asking her to provide a written statement detailing her observations of the accident. In the end, the liability carrier accepted responsibility for its driver’s negligence and agreed to pay Christopher the maximum amount of compensation due under the policy.
