Construction Worker Lane Change Collision Resulting in Severe Injuries

We are proud to announce the resolution of a complex case on behalf of our client who was involved in a collision with a construction worker driving a flatbed in September 2016. Our client sustained injuries to her neck, requiring surgery, as well as shoulder injuries and aggravated lower back pain. Establishing causation between the accident and her injuries posed a challenge, particularly considering a subsequent, more severe wreck in April 2017. However, with the diligent efforts of our legal team and testimony from the client's doctors, we successfully proved the case. Despite facing resistance from the defense, including the hiring of a dozen expert witnesses, we effectively excluded the majority of their experts from the case. Our victory extended through appeals up to the Texas Supreme Court, defending the trial court's decision. This outcome underscores our unwavering dedication to achieving justice for our clients in the face of adversity.
