On August 7, 2025, our client was driving on State Highway 105 in Hardin County, Texas. Another driver was stopped in a private drive, preparing to pull onto the highway.
According to the certified Texas Peace Officer’s Crash Report, that driver failed to yield the right of way and pulled out, causing a collision with our client’s vehicle. Our client attempted to swerve to avoid him, but the vehicles collided and both came to rest in the ditch. The investigating officer cited the other driver for failing to yield the right of way from a private drive.
Our client’s airbags deployed in the crash, and she was taken from the scene by EMS for emergency care. She had suffered serious injuries that would require ongoing treatment and surgery.
Liability in this case is clear. The certified crash report reflects the investigating officer’s finding that the other driver failed to yield the right of way, and the driver was cited for that violation. A driver pulling out of a private drive onto a highway must yield to oncoming traffic — and when he does not, he is responsible for the collision that follows.
Our client’s injuries were serious and well documented. She was taken by EMS to the hospital, where she was treated for a fractured left clavicle and a cervical fracture, with notes of left-side and neck pain and deployed airbags. She went on to treat with an orthopedic practice and ultimately underwent surgery to repair the fractured clavicle. We have gathered the certified crash report, her medical records, and the billing to document both the fault and the harm.
We represent our client and are pursuing the at-fault driver and his insurer for the harm this crash caused. With liability supported by the certified crash report and the citation, and with her injuries and surgery documented, we have made a formal demand on the insurer to resolve the claim within the available coverage. The case is in active litigation, and we are prepared to take it to trial if it is not resolved fairly.
A driver who is hurt by someone else’s failure to yield should not have to fight an insurance company alone to be made whole. We stand with our client, hold the at-fault driver accountable, and press his insurer to pay what her injuries are worth.
