$3,963,927.62 Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on November 7, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Having an attorney who is relentless in their pursuit of justice is invaluable. Recently, attorney Mark Fassold along with attorneys Caleb Rackley and Julie Matsen exhibited why having a formidable legal team fighting for justice can garner incomparable results.

Our client was rear-ended by the defendant’s truck here in Bexar County which resulted in a lumbar spine injury requiring surgery and a traumatic brain injury. The defendant claimed that our client was at fault for the crash and the fact that our client returned to work the day after the crash meant that our legal team had their work cut out for them. Not afraid to put in hard work, our team rolled up their sleeves to fight for our client. In the end, they were able to settle the case for $3,963,927.62.

A settlement of this amount is a direct correlation to how much our team cared about our client. The unmatched effort they displayed during the litigation process ended up being worth it for our client who was able to obtain justice for an accident that was not their fault. We are proud to have these attorneys on our team. Way to go, everyone!

Truck Driver Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on August 1, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Sleep deprivation can be extremely dangerous. If you get behind the wheel while sleep deprived, it can cause serious damage to not just yourself, but others on the road around you. If someone is sleep deprived, they can experience lack of focus and slower reaction time. They can even doze off if they are not doing something active to keep them alert.

Our client was the first victim in the path of destruction left behind by a sleep deprived truck driver. The truck driver barreled through six nearly stopped vehicles at full speed. The truck driver never applied his brakes before violently crashing into our client. We later discovered that the truck driver was driving on little to no sleep as a result of being verbally reprimanded previously for taking too long of a sleep break in the days leading up to the crash. On top of it all, the defendant driver was severely underinsured for the magnitude of destruction.

Our attorneys stepped up to help make sure that the lack of insurance by the defendant would not impact our client’s justice. Attorneys Jennifer Neal, Caleb Rackley, Cesar Perez, Chloe Shrode, and Illiana Parker, along with their team, did everything they could to hold the defendant accountable. After a hard-fought battle, they ensured our client received a settlement to help assist in their road to recovery.

The team was not afraid of a challenge and rose to the occasion in order to help someone in need. Great job everyone!

$1.55 Million Company Vehicle Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on May 3, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Dashboard cameras are set in place to help hold drivers accountable and encourage safe driving. These technological tools can sometimes be key evidence in a car accident to help determine how an accident occurred and who the at-fault party is.

In this case, a company vehicle was caught failing to yield to the right of way on camera, by another motorist. This traffic violation led to a chain of events that resulted in a violent crash that was fortunately all recorded. The vehicle that had the right of way swerved to avoid hitting the company vehicle and ended up hitting our clients who were waiting innocently at a stop light. Unfortunately, this accident severely injured our client, forcing him to have to undergo several surgeries. However, with the video evidence, our client was given the justice he deserved.

Attorneys Jorge Mares and Chloe Shrode along with their team created an ironclad argument for their case which resulted in the insurance company overturning their original denial of the claim just before trial. The insurance company accepted responsibility and settled to pay our client $1,550,000. The relentless pursuit of justice our team maintained resulted in the at-fault party accepting accountability so our client could be fairly compensated. Way to go, team!

Distracted Driving Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on January 12, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

There are three types of distracted driving – visual (taking your eyes off the road), manual (taking your hands off the wheel), and cognitive (taking your mind off driving). NHTSA statistics show a significant increase in the likelihood of injury or death due to vehicle collisions when a driver is distracted. Our client was a victim of a distracted driver which resulted in significant injuries.

The defendant driver, who has a history of bad driving, failed to see the car in from of him which resulted in a rear-end collision. Our team of attorneys, Rebecca Page, Jennifer Neal, and Lance Kimbro, along with their team protected our client’s rights and made sure that justice was delivered.

It is important to hold companies accountable for hiring bad drivers, especially when they are behind the wheel of a large commercial vehicle. Our team at Watts Guerra has and will continue to fight for this mission to increase safety on the road. Great job everyone!
