Details of the Ford Mustang Lot Accident
William, our client, was on his lunch break when he decided to look at a used Ford Mustang with the help of a sales representative from the car lot. The hood of the Mustang was up, and William was standing in front of the vehicle to look at the engine. At this moment, the sales rep, who did not have any experience with standard transmissions, decided to pop the clutch. The vehicle lunged forward, catapulting William onto the pavement.
The fall onto the pavement of the car lot caused William to strike his head on the ground. He began to bleed profusely from a massive gash on his head, and EMS was called to take him to Baylor Scott and White Hospital. Medical experts at the hospital performed a CT scan and X-rays to get a full picture of his condition. He would be diagnosed with a broken back, head injury, and elbow lacerations, all of which required about a week of hospitalization.
