A driveway exit on Kirby Drive
On the evening of April 8, 2004, the executive drove his 2002 sports car on Kirby Drive in Houston. His wife rode in the passenger seat. Near West Alabama Street, another driver pulled out of a driveway, and the vehicles collided.
The executive sought medical attention for a neck injury that became apparent several days after the collision. His treatment included steroid injections and physical therapy.
The driver disputed fault and injury
The defendant argued that the executive drove too fast and failed to watch carefully for other vehicles. The defendant also claimed that the neck injury predated the crash.
The investigating police officer cited the defendant for failing to yield the right of way. Brian pursued the executive’s claim using the collision evidence while addressing the defendant’s challenge to the neck injury.
A settlement after mediation
Brian represented the executive through mediation. Afterward, the executive accepted a $115,000 settlement resolving the collision lawsuit.
