Case Overview
A plaintiff was involved in a rear-end motor vehicle collision in Dallas County, Texas, after an uninsured motorist allegedly operated a vehicle negligently. The plaintiff claimed to have sustained bodily injuries, mental anguish, physical impairment, and incurred medical expenses due to the incident.
The plaintiff filed a petition against his own insurance carrier, seeking uninsured motorist benefits under his policy. The lawsuit also requested a declaration that the plaintiff was entitled to damages from both the uninsured motorist and the insurer, along with actual damages, interest, and costs. The defendant insurer filed an answer, asserting that the plaintiff failed to properly assert a claim under the Texas Declaratory Judgment Act and was not entitled to recover uninsured motorist benefits.
The parties subsequently informed the court that the case had settled. They filed a joint motion to dismiss the case with prejudice, which the court granted.
