Case Overview
On February 1, 2017, a vehicle collision occurred at an intersection controlled by a three-way flashing red light in Irving, Texas. The plaintiff's vehicle was executing a left turn when it was struck on the right front quarter panel by the defendant's vehicle, which allegedly failed to stop for the flashing red light. The plaintiff later sought treatment for right wrist pain and was diagnosed with a sprain.
The plaintiff filed a vehicular negligence action, asserting that the defendant was negligent for failing to maintain a proper lookout, stop for the flashing red light, yield the right-of-way, reduce speed, and stop at the proper place. The defendant denied all allegations of negligence and injury, contending that the plaintiff's own negligence was the sole or partial cause of the accident and alleged damages.
The plaintiff sought $9,000 to resolve the claim. The parties ultimately reached a settlement agreement for $5,000.
