Car Accident
Case name: Shannon Castro v. Nick's Tire & Brake Service Inc.
Case #: CVRI2000268
On Dec. 6, 2019, at 5:50 am, Plaintiff, 48, was operating her vehicle when she was broadsided by a truck operated by Defendant. Plaintiff suffered injuries to her head, left shoulder and knee. When our office got involved, we inspected the accident scene and the intersection where it occurred and discovered by researching the traffic signal timing sequence, that Defendant ran a red light and was at fault for the accident. We also did further investigation and found out that the driver was driving on a suspended license and driving an illegally modified overweight truck for his employer. We sued the driver and his employer arguing that the driver was negligent in the operation of his vehicle and that Defendant’s employer was vicariously liable. We were able to establish that his employer knew of the license suspension and employed him to drive in conscious disregard of the public’s safety. The Defense contended that Plaintiff ran a red light and was liable for the accident. Short of trial, Defendants agreed to pay the policy limit of $1,000,000.00
