Case Style:
Case Number: 3:23-cv-00261
Judge: Ada Brown
Court: United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas County)
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: Dallas, Texas insurance defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
Description: Dallas, Texas personal injury truck wreck lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on an auto negligence theory.
This case was filed in the Dallas County Court at Law No. 2, CC-23-00227-B, and was removed to federal court by the Defendant.
Texas is a “modified” comparative negligence state. Under the Texas modified comparative negligence standard, plaintiffs can sue for damages even if you are partially at fault for an accident. However, if a plaintiff is found to be more than 50% to blame for an accident, plaintiff cannot recover any damages.
Outcome: The Court has been notified that this case has settled. The Parties are therefore directed to submit (1) their dismissal papers or (2) a joint status report updating the Court as to the status of the settlement within 60 days from the date of this order. There appears to be no further reason at this time to maintain the file as open for statistical purposes. The Clerk is therefore instructed to submit a JS-6 form to the Administrative Office, thereby removing this case from the statistical records. Nothing in this Order shall be considered a dismissal or disposition of this case, and should further proceedings become necessary or desirable, any party or the Court may initiate such further proceedings in the same manner as if this Order had not been entered.
