A Texas woman who was seriously hurt in 2017 when her\ncar fell off the seventh floor of a high-rise parking garage to the ground\nbelow has reached a settlement with the owners of the parking garage where the dangerous\nincident occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver, Christi Bowmer of Cedar Park, Texas, suffered\na long list of injuries when her BMW drove through a set of cable retention\nwires on the seventh floor of the garage when she accidentally\nhit the gas<\/a> instead of the brakes in her car, according to an April 3 story\nby KVUE TV in Austin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The crash happened about 8:30 a.m. on July 13,\n2017, at the Littlefield parking garage near Sixth Street and Brazos streets. The\nfalling car ruptured a gas line on a nearby building and then landed on a\nChevrolet Tahoe that was driving northbound in the alley between Fifth and\nSixth streets, the story reported. The driver of the Tahoe was not injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bowmer,\nwho was 49 at the time of the accident, filed a lawsuit seeking at least $1\nmillion in damages from the owners of the parking garage, GTT Parking LP. The\nlawsuit alleged that the company was negligent by not upgrading the cable\nbarrier system that failed to keep her car from going seven stories over the\nedge of the building, the story states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nwoman’s medical\ntreatments<\/a> for her related injuries have so far cost more than $1 million,\nshe told the TV station when her lawsuit was filed. The case was recently settled\nbut the terms were not disclosed due to a confidentiality agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nparking garage, which was built in 1979, had an earlier incident in September\n2016, when an SUV was prevented from falling from the ninth floor of the garage\nby cables which stopped the vehicle, the story said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Legal\ncases like this one occur around the nation every day and are examples of\nsimilar kinds of car crash cases that MyPhillyLawyer attorneys\nregularly work on tirelessly for our own clients.
