Arnold & Itkin LLP personal injury attorneys obtain $540,000 judgment on behalf of Plaintiff in injured in car accident
Arnold & Itkin LLP personal injury attorneys Mike Pierce and Paul Skrabanek obtained a $540,000 judgment on behalf of a Plaintiff involved in a car accident. The case arose out of a rear end collision in Houston, Texas. The Defendant driver worked for Kilgore Mechanical, and the jury returned a verdict against the driver and Kilgore Mechanical. The Plaintiff suffered a neck injury that required her to undergo surgery.
Although there were some reports of minor burns, at this time it appears as though there were no significant injuries. Company officials said they have accounted for all their employees, although two employees were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital Southeast as a precaution due to breathing problems. One has since been released.
It doesn’t take an attorney or judge to figure out the consequences of such an action. Reading and typing messages through a phone require several seconds of visual concentration on the phone … which automatically means that those seconds are being spent focused on something other than the road and the vehicles driving on it, or pedestrians walking nearby and crossing the road.
