In October 2024, two Dallas sisters were traveling in a vehicle on a main interstate highway when two trucks stopped suddenly in front of them. One of the drivers of the two trucks slammed on the brakes due to traffic. Because she was following safe driving habits, the sister driving the vehicle reacted in time to make a complete stop and avoid colliding with one of the trucks in front of her car.
Unfortunately, the driver behind them was recklessly speeding. As the sisters slowed down, the other driver was unable to stop and rear-ended the sisters, striking their car at a high rate of speed. The sisters’ car was severely damaged in the wreck, and both women required immediate medical attention to treat their injuries.
The sisters then contacted our Dallas car wreck injury lawyers at The Button Law Firm to hold the negligent driver accountable. Our experienced legal team secured a life-changing result for the two sisters to help them move forward.
How Did the Dallas Sisters Suffer in the Car Wreck?
Speeding, one of the most common reckless driving behaviors, caused 13,211 wrecks in Dallas County in a single year, according to the most recent report published by the Texas Department of Transportation. Sadly, the sisters were victims of the other driver's dangerous behavior.
In addition to their destroyed vehicle, both sisters experienced a range of debilitating symptoms in the days and weeks following the wreck. The sister who drove the car developed daily headaches, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping, along with pain in her neck, back, and shoulders. Her sister, who was a passenger at the time of the wreck, suffered similar pain and had trouble with concentration and memory, which directly impacted her ability to work and sit for extended periods of time.
Their injuries required extensive medical care, a journey that began with an emergency room visit immediately following the wreck and continued with treatments two months later. Both sisters received advanced imaging like CT scans and X-rays to diagnose their serious injuries and prolonged state of pain following the rear-end collision. This was followed by courses of physical therapy, multiple doctors' visits, and specialized treatment at various clinics. The cumulative cost of this medical care quickly escalated into a substantial financial burden, also known as damages.
How Did Taking Legal Action Help the Sisters After a Car Wreck?
Insurance companies often try to minimize the value of a claim after a wreck, victimizing the drivers again. Common tactics include offering a quick, lowball settlement before the full extent of injuries is known following a serious wreck. Without proper legal representation, victims are often left to shoulder these out-of-pocket costs on their own.
In this case, our experienced legal team aggressively advocated for the two sisters, handling the complexities of the case and even dealing with the insurance companies involved. We secured a life-changing result that allowed the women to continue their necessary medical treatments and move forward with peace of mind.
