Case Overview
A motor vehicle collision occurred on April 3, 2018, at the intersection of South Westmoreland Road and Camp Wisdom Road in Dallas, Texas. An uninsured motorist, driving eastbound from a parking lot, failed to yield the right-of-way while turning left, colliding with the driver's side of the plaintiff's vehicle, which was traveling northbound. The driver and a passenger, the plaintiffs, sustained injuries as a result of the incident.
The plaintiffs subsequently filed a lawsuit against their automobile insurance company, seeking uninsured motorist benefits under their policy. They alleged the uninsured motorist's negligence, including failure to maintain a proper lookout, yield the right-of-way, and apply brakes timely, was the proximate cause of the accident and their injuries. The plaintiffs claimed damages for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, loss of consortium, and loss of household services.
The plaintiffs requested a declaratory judgment to establish their rights under the insurance policy and to determine the amount of benefits owed by the defendant insurer. They also sought pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, court costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees, demanding a jury trial. The case record does not indicate a final verdict or settlement.
