In January 2024, a Plano man visited a fast-food restaurant to enjoy a sit-down meal. Out of nowhere, a car crashed through the front of the restaurant—right by where the man was eating—and seriously injured him physically and psychologically. At the time of the crash, the man thought a bomb went off in the restaurant, or he and the other patrons were under attack by an individual.
The Plano man received treatment for a head injury, cuts, bruises, and pain all over his body at a nearby emergency room. But his injuries were more serious, requiring an extensive and expensive treatment plan and a long journey to recovery. He was put under the care of a neurologist, and doctors also prescribed him naproxen and methocarbamol—two strong painkillers—to help him endure the intense chronic pain.
As for the psychological injuries experienced from the crash, the man recognized he was lucky to be alive, but his near-death experience haunted him. Knowing that if he had sat in a different spot, one that was closer to the impact of the car, he could have been killed. It’s a thought that he cannot shake. Thus, he developed post-traumatic stress disorder that impacted his quality of life.
The Plano man contacted our North Texas personal injury lawyers at The Button Law Firm to hold the negligent driver responsible for the accident that caused his injuries. Our legal team fought to secure a settlement that compensated the man for the extensive medical bills that would cover his current and long-term treatments and all of the non-economic damages that he suffered in the traumatic crash. With our help, the Plano man was able to move forward.
