Case Overview
On March 2, 2017, a collision occurred in Forney, Texas, near the intersection of Pinson Road and Forestwood Drive. A southbound vehicle, driven by the plaintiff, a home health care worker, collided with a northbound vehicle that was turning left. The plaintiff claimed to have sustained injuries to her knee, neck, and shoulder.
The plaintiff subsequently filed a lawsuit against the driver of the other vehicle, alleging negligence in its operation. The vehicle's owner was also named as a defendant, with the plaintiff alleging vicarious liability for the driver's actions. The defendant driver contended that a truck in the southbound left lane had obstructed her view, preventing her from seeing the plaintiff's vehicle before making the turn. The plaintiff sought to recover for past medical costs, totaling approximately $41,000, along with damages for future medical expenses, physical impairment, and pain and suffering.
Following the incident, the plaintiff received emergency room care, followed by chiropractic and pain management treatment, including an epidural steroid injection. While her treating doctor recommended further treatment, the plaintiff declined. A medical expert for the defense opined that the plaintiff's injuries were sustained in the collision but that most of her ongoing treatment was unnecessary, suggesting that a course of steroids shortly after the accident would have resolved her complaints. After a two-day trial and two hours of jury deliberation, the jury found the defendants liable for the collision. The plaintiff was awarded $44,094 in damages.
