The Francis Firm Secures Settlement in Hays County Garbage Truck Collision Case

The Francis Firm Secures Settlement in Hays County Garbage Truck Collision Case

HAYS COUNTY, Texas, Aug. 22, 2025 -- Francis Injury: Car & Truck Accident Lawyers has successfully resolved a long-contested motor vehicle injury claim involving the negligent operation of a trash truck on a rural county road in Hays County, Texas.

We are proud to have secured justice for our client in the face of reckless conduct that never should have occurred.

The case centered on a dangerous and improper maneuver by the garbage truck driver, who swerved left as the Francis Injury Law Firm's client attempted to lawfully pass the slow-moving vehicle. Instead of making a safe turn or properly servicing one side of the street at a time, the driver engaged in an unsafe "snaking" technique, crossing the roadway to the opposite side to pick up trash.

Francis Injury Law Firm's legal team established that the driver's actions were not only negligent but also in direct violation of his employer's own written safety policies and procedures.

As a result of the collision, the client sustained a serious knee injury that required surgical intervention. After vigorous litigation, the case was resolved with a settlement for a confidential amount.

"We are proud to have secured justice for our client in the face of unsafe and reckless conduct that never should have occurred," said Michael (Mensa Mike) Francis, lead attorney at Francis Injury: Car & Truck Accident Lawyers. "This resolution reinforces the importance of holding negligent drivers and their employers accountable when their actions cause harm."

Francis Injury: Car & Truck Accident Lawyers remains committed to advocating for individuals and families injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout Texas.
