Case Overview
In Dallas County, Texas, an uninsured motorist rear-ended a vehicle, causing the driver to allegedly sustain injuries, pain, physical impairment, and economic losses. The injured driver subsequently filed a vehicular liability action against Government Employees Insurance Company (GEIC), their own insurer, alleging negligence. The plaintiff sought judgment for damages, interest, and costs.
GEIC, the defendant, denied the allegations and asserted several affirmative defenses. These defenses included failure to state a claim, failure to comply with all conditions precedent, failure to mitigate damages, and the doctrine of release.
The parties ultimately reached a settlement in the case. Following the settlement, they filed a joint motion to dismiss the action with prejudice, which the Texas District Court granted.
