Longmont, CO (prHWY.com) July 20, 2010 - Longmont, CO, 10th July, 2010 - Leading Personal Injury Lawyer, Edward Smith recently settled a case involving a 26 year old woman who was a passenger in a vehicle traveling on I-25 at 11:30 at night and which met with an accident.

According the Edward Smith, "My client, a 26 year old woman was traveling in a vehicle on I-25 at 11:30 at night hit another vehicle that was parked sideways in the highway. The vehicle was owned by a local car dealership and was being driven by one of their managers. The manager, who was intoxicated, parked in the highway and was standing by the driver's side door. The vehicle in which my client was traveling to Fort Collins, Colorado struck the parked car at almost 70 mph. As a result of the high speed impact accident, my client sustained severe abdominal injuries and had to have 90% of her lower intestine removed. The insurance company for the car dealership disputed liability and claimed that the manager was not in the course and scope of his employment and as a result, they owed no duty to my client."

"The case was filed in court and moving toward trial. The attorneys for the car dealership filed a motion for summary judgment asking the court to dismiss the case based on their lack of duty to my client. I filed a response to their motion arguing that the dealership had required their managers to acknowledge in writing that they were representing the car dealership at all times they were driving a company car. A few weeks before trial, the case settled for $1.26 million dollars." said Edward Smith, the leading Personal Injury Lawyer.
