A three-year-old boy suffered a serious brain injury when a Capital Metro bus collided with a suburban in Northwest Austin, Texas. At trial, we were able to establish fault on both drivers: 1. The driver of the suburban ran a red light; and 2. The bus driver was speeding. Using advanced accident reconstruction, we were able to prove the bus driver was going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone, and her speeding was a direct cause of the collision.
The jury awarded damages to our client and attributed 65 percent liability to the driver of the suburban and 35 percent liability to the bus driver. On behalf of our client, we were able to negotiate favorable confidential settlements with the driver of the suburban and the driver of the bus.
