Description:
Austin, Texas personal injury lawyer Otto Yannick Muller who represented the Plaintiff who sued on a Federal Tort Claims Act auto negligence theory.
Texas uses a modified form of comparative negligence (also known as "proportionate responsibility" in Texas). This means that if you are found partially at fault for the injury, then your damages can be reduced.
Under the FTCA, the federal government acts as a self-insurer, and recognizes liability for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of its employees acting within the scope of their official duties.
Outcome: Settled for an undisclosed sum and dismissed with prejudice.
