The Bonehead Award Goes To...

On a cold January morning a couple of years ago in North Texas, we woke up to a thin layer of ice covering our cars. A father was in too much of a hurry that morning to defrost or scrape off his car's windshield, so he chose to drive his kids to school hanging his head out the window in an attempt try and see around his icy windshield. Unfortunately, one of my favorite clients was doing his civic duty as an elementary school crossing guard when he was run over by the reckless man. The father claimed not to have seen my client. My client was even holding up a hand-held STOP sign. Luckily, no children were hurt and my client fully recovered from his injuries after a few months of intensive medical treatment.

A Fort Worth Police Officer gave the negligent driver citations for reckless driving and driving with an obstructed view. During our investigation, we interviewed the Police Officer and he told us: "If I could have given the idiot a third ticket for driving with his head up his ***, I would've done it." Needless to say, with the mere threat of litigation, the insurance company for the Bonehead Award Winner paid my client the full policy limits and he was fully compensated.
