Case Overview
On September 24, 2020, a rear-end vehicle collision occurred on Avenue H in Rosenberg, Fort Bend, Texas. The defendant driver was cited for failing to control the speed of her vehicle, which struck the rear of the plaintiff's vehicle. The plaintiff sustained personal injuries and subsequently sought compensation under the underinsured motorist provision of his automobile insurance policy with the defendant insurer. After the insurer did not offer a settlement the plaintiff deemed fair, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit on July 25, 2022, seeking a declaratory judgment for damages related to the collision, including physical pain, medical expenses, impairment, and attorney fees.
The defendant insurer responded with a general denial and multiple defenses. These defenses included claims of sudden emergency, unavoidable accident, limitation of liability per the policy, failure to establish damages legally recoverable from an underinsured motorist, and allegations that the plaintiff failed to mitigate damages or that injuries were caused by pre-existing medical conditions. On September 22, 2023, the court issued an order of partial dismissal with prejudice, terminating all claims asserted or that could have been asserted by the plaintiff against the defendant insurer. Subsequently, on June 11, 2024, the court accepted the plaintiff's notice of non-suit, dismissing his claims against the defendant driver with prejudice. The case was terminated, likely indicating a settlement between the parties, though specific details were not disclosed.
