In this case, our client was walking his dog across an intersection with the right-of-way (walking sign on streetlight allowing crossing). The at-fault driver was not paying attention and went into the intersection, hitting our client and his dog. Our client suffered injuries to his hip and back, and his dog was taken to a local veterinarian, where he made a full recovery.
The insurance company for the at-fault driver first offered $30,000 to resolve the case, which was insufficient. We took depositions and showed that the defendant was not paying attention and used witness testimony to contradict her version of the story.
The case settled for $195,000.00. If you are hit by a car while in a crosswalk or while walking your dog, please contact Travis Legal Offices, LLC for a free consultation.
