Wrongful Death - Pedestrian Accident

Attorney Jeremy Coe and his co-counsel represented the grieving wife and 8 children after their husband and father was killed by a reckless driver of a company vehicle. The police placed fault on the pedestrian instead of the company vehicle but our thorough investigation caused the insurance companies to pay our clients $6 million dollars.

Auto Accident

Our client was a working mom taking her kids to school when the employee of a pipeline company failed to yield the right of way to her vehicle on a rural road in Smith County, Texas. The at-fault driver ignored the stop sign and broadsided our client, causing a major car wreck. Though the children received minor injuries, the mom required knee surgery and therapy. Our investigation revealed that the at-fault driver had a history of speeding and the company failed to take preventive measures. The at-fault driver's car insurance company paid $165,000.

Truck Accident

Our client R.A. was a 53 year old Hispanic male severely injured due to the negligence of a recently-licensed and untrained commercial truck driver for a large oilfield services company near Henderson in Rusk County, Texas. The commercial truck driver failed to yield right-of-way to our client by turning onto Highway 64 from a county road. Our investigation later revealed that the at-fault driver had only recently been released from jail for charges related to possession of marijuana and had only received his commercial driver’s license approximately one month earlier. The oilfield company provided almost no training before sticking him behind the wheel of a big rig. Our client had five surgeries over the course of two years, including shoulder, leg, and neck surgeries. Despite a history of earning good money working in the oilfield, our client was unable to return to work. With the assistance of expert witnesses, including an economist, vocational rehabilitation expert and a life care planner, we obtained a court settlement at mediation of approximately one million dollars.

Truck Accident

Our client P.B. was a 51 year old woman who was riding in a small passenger car driven by her daughter on Interstate 20 near Marshall in Harrison County, Texas, when the commercial driver of an 18 wheeler clipped their car, causing it to spin, and forcefully coming to rest after striking the embankment. The commercial driver was later shown to have been texting on his mobile telephone at the time of the wreck. One of the top neurosurgeons in East Texas performed a neck fusion one our client at C5-6. Though the surgery was success, our client required post-surgical pain intervention as a result of the injuries she sustained in the accident. After a three day jury trial, a Harrison County jury found the commercial driver to be responsible for our client’s injuries and awarded $525,000.00 in damages.

Workplace Injury

Our client L.R. was an assistant manager at a fast food franchise in Henderson, Texas when another employee engaged in horseplay, causing serious injuries to her knee and back. The employer was a non-subscriber to the Texas worker’s compensation system. L.R. was unable to work due to the injuries she sustained and ultimately required knee surgery and lower back surgery. The employer offered $100,000 at mediation but after a two-day arbitration, the arbitrator awarded damages to L.R. in the amount of $537,000.
