Case Overview
On July 19, 2016, a vehicle carrying a minor passenger was struck at the intersection of West FM 1382 Highway and North Clark Road in Cedar Hill, Texas. The incident occurred when a westbound vehicle, operated by the defendant driver, attempted a left turn and collided with the eastbound vehicle carrying the minor. The minor passenger sustained minor soft-tissue injuries.
The minor's parents, acting as plaintiffs, filed a negligence lawsuit against the defendant driver and the defendant vehicle owner. The plaintiffs alleged the defendant driver failed to yield the right-of-way, maintain a proper lookout, and apply brakes, also claiming the vehicle owner negligently entrusted the vehicle. The defendants denied negligence, contending that the plaintiff driver caused the collision and that the defendant driver acted in a sudden emergency. The parties later reached a settlement agreement for $1,500.
