On Wednesday, July 17, 2013, Fears | Nachawati Law Firm Counsel Garnett Hendrix and his personal injury legal team, appeared in the 160th District Court in Dallas County under Presiding Judge, the Honorable Jim Jordan, to litigate for their client; Plaintiff Deron Taylor.
The case of Deron T. Taylor v. Clifton R. Carr and Native Oil Field Services, LLC, developed as a result of a rear-end collision that occurred between Taylor and Carr. On November 3, 2009, the tractor-trailer Carr was driving collided into the posterior end of the flat bed truck that Taylor was operating. As a result of Carr’s negligence to safely and properly operate his vehicle, Taylor sustained permanent spinal damage upon impact when his vehicle was pushed 260 feet from the collision. In addition to spinal damage that has hindered his work ability, Taylor also experienced a concussion, which has caused negative, long term affects on his memory.
Because of Hendrix’s acute legal expertise, and the experienced, thorough team of paralegals and assistants who support him, the Public Injury Division from Fears | Nachawati successfully argued their case in front of a jury, who rendered a verdict of $352,000.00 to be awarded to Taylor as a result of the defendant’s negligence to avoid the collision. Included in the amount awarded to Taylor, $270,400.00 was designated to the Plaintiff for loss of future working capacity, and $50,000.00 was allotted for physical pain and mental anguish.
