Doe v. Living Earth Technology

Environmental Waste Company Agrees to Settle Case After its Disposal Truck Collided with Elderly Couple on Interstate 10, Causing Severe Injuries

Houston, Texas – August 6, 2005

Doe v. Living Earth Technology, 164th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas

On June 24, 2003, John Doe and his wife Jane, 78 years old were driving their son home from the hospital where he had recently undergone ophthalmologic surgery. Mrs. Doe was seated in the back seat of the family’s Lincoln sedan.

Traffic was heavy on Interstate 10, as it perpetually is. As Mr. Doe slowed to a stop, a Living Earth Technology waste disposal truck violently collided with the Doe vehicle. As the crash occurred, a 55-gallon drum of environmental waste flew into the Doe’s trunk. The waste initially caught fire, but quickly dissipated.

Seated in the back seat, Mrs. Doe bore the brunt of the impact. She suffered multiple non-displaced vertebral fractures at C3 and C4, resulting in permanent neurological loss. Fortunately, she did not lose all sensation in her arms.

Mrs. Doe incurred over $180,000.00 in medical expenses and will require lifelong neurological follow-ups. Attorneys from Denena & Points, P.C. were contacted by the family and quickly secured the evidence. After suit was filed, the family’s attorneys were able to negotiate a confidential settlement with Living Earth Technology.
