Case Overview
On September 4, 2020, an automobile collision occurred near FM 2234 and Park Manor in Fort Bend County, Texas. The defendant's vehicle reportedly failed to stop at a four-way intersection, colliding with the plaintiff's vehicle and causing airbags to deploy. The plaintiff sustained bodily injuries in the incident. In July 2021, the plaintiff filed a complaint alleging the defendant's negligence, citing failures to apply brakes, maintain a proper lookout, control the vehicle, turn to avoid the collision, yield the right-of-way, and stop at the intersection. The plaintiff sought damages for medical expenses, pain, suffering, mental anguish, and physical impairment.
In August 2021, the defendant responded with a general denial of the allegations. The defendant also asserted multiple defenses, including claims that the plaintiff's own negligence caused the damages, the incident was unavoidable, or that pre-existing medical conditions were responsible for the injuries.
The case was initially set for trial in November 2022, then rescheduled for May 2023. However, in June 2023, the plaintiff filed a Motion for Nonsuit With Prejudice. The court granted the motion, resulting in the case being dismissed with prejudice. The resolution was noted as a likely settlement, suggesting the parties reached an agreement before trial.
