When it comes to driving, a split-second decision can have serious consequences. Recently, our team at the Law Office of Domingo Garcia successfully represented a client in a significant car crash case in Dallas, where a driver’s negligence resulted in a $50,000 award for the Plaintiff. This case highlights the dangers of distracted driving, especially the risks posed by cell phone use, and the importance of having an experienced attorney on your side to secure fair compensation.
Case Details: Car Crash on Midway Road
On February 11, 2024, at approximately 1:51 p.m., our client was driving northbound on 18600 Midway Road with a passenger in lane 1. Another driver—a Dallas resident—was not fully focused on the road. The Defendant later admitted to the Dallas Police Department that she had been on her cell phone at the time, which led her to make a left turn into oncoming traffic at the 1800 block of Midway Road. Turning into the wrong lane, she struck the our client’s vehicle, causing severe damage and injuries to the Plaintiff and their passenger.
Distracted Driving Leads to Serious Consequences
Distracted driving, particularly when using a cell phone, is a leading cause of accidents in Dallas and across Texas. Despite awareness campaigns and legal restrictions, far too many drivers still use their phones behind the wheel. As seen in this case, even a brief lapse in attention can result in devastating outcomes.
The Defendant’s unsafe turn while distracted by her cell phone led to a serious collision. The Plaintiff’s vehicle was totaled, and both the Plaintiff and their passenger sustained injuries. This incident serves as a stark reminder that every driver has a duty to stay alert, obey traffic laws, and avoid distractions, especially those from mobile devices.
