Case Overview
A vehicle collision occurred on February 10, 2016, in Angleton, Texas, at the intersection of Munson Street and Gulf Boulevard. The plaintiff and defendant were both driving on Munson Street, approaching from opposite directions, and both had stop signs. The defendant made a left turn, resulting in a collision with the plaintiff's vehicle. The plaintiff subsequently filed a lawsuit, alleging negligent operation by the defendant.
Both drivers claimed they had the right-of-way at the intersection. The plaintiff reported lower back and gluteal pain following the incident, later diagnosed as soft-tissue injuries, for which she underwent chiropractic care. The plaintiff sought compensation for medical expenses, pain, and physical impairment. The defense argued that the plaintiff's injuries were minor and that her chiropractic treatment, initiated nearly a year after the accident, stemmed from a pre-existing condition rather than the collision.
The case was settled for $10,000 prior to trial.
