Rocky Walton Injury Lawyers Secures $8 Million Policy Limit Recovery
Our client, a vibrant 19-year-old husband and father, was tragically injured in a devastating motor vehicle crash that changed his life forever. In May 2023, while riding as a front-seat passenger in an older pickup truck in rural Midland County, Texas, his life was shattered by the negligent actions of a careless driver. The defendant, behind the wheel of another pickup truck, failed to yield the right of way, causing a violent crash. Unfortunately, this crash was preventable. The defendant was driving a company vehicle despite having an alarming history of traffic violations, including prior accidents and driving while intoxicated.
Our client’s injuries were catastrophic. He endured months in a coma and continues to suffer a Diffuse Axonal Brain Injury (DAI), one of the most severe forms of traumatic brain injuries. DAI occurs when the brain’s nerve fibers are sheared due to the rapid acceleration and deceleration forces during an accident. This type of injury disrupts normal brain function on a large scale and is known for its devastating and long-lasting effects. Victims of DAI, like our client, often face permanent disabilities, including cognitive impairments, loss of motor function, and in this case, quadriplegia. His young wife and child now face the heartbreaking reality of his condition and the challenges that come with caring for him.
The journey toward justice was not easy, but at our firm, we thrive in the face of adversity. From the beginning, we knew that our client and his family deserved more than just sympathy; they deserved compensation that would secure their future and hold the negligent party accountable. We meticulously built our case, exposing the defendant’s reckless history and emphasizing the employer’s responsibility for allowing such a dangerous driver on the road.
Our firm fought tirelessly, taking the case through a complex and demanding litigation process. The result? A landmark $8 million policy limit recovery for our client and his family. This settlement will help provide for our client’s ongoing medical care, and his family's financial needs, and offer some semblance of security for their future in the face of such a tragedy.
We are incredibly proud of the outcome and the relief it brings to this deserving family. With over three decades of experience and board certification in personal injury trial law since 1994, our firm has earned a reputation for standing up to powerful defendants and achieving significant recoveries for our clients.
