Case Overview
In March 2016, the plaintiff, an insurance company, filed a lawsuit in Fort Bend County, Texas, against the defendant, alleging negligence following a motor vehicle collision that occurred in June 2015 near Rosenberg. The plaintiff claimed the defendant failed to maintain a proper lookout, resulting in a collision with a vehicle owned by the plaintiff's insured. The collision allegedly caused $13,672.58 in vehicle damages and $54,974.56 in medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages for the insured and/or occupants. The plaintiff sought subrogation for amounts paid to its insured.
The defendant filed an answer in May 2016, denying all allegations. The parties engaged in mediation and reached a settlement agreement in March 2020. Despite this agreement, the case continued. In May 2023, the court initially ruled that the plaintiff would take nothing against the defendant.
However, the plaintiff filed a motion for a new trial. The case ultimately concluded with a default judgment entered in favor of the plaintiff. The plaintiff had sought judgment against the defendant, along with prejudgment and postjudgment interest and costs of suit.
