Case Background

On August 3, 2022, Plaintiff Brianna Frakes and others filed a Car Accident lawsuit in the Texas State, Galveston County, 56th District Court (Case number: 22-CV-1453). Judge Lonnie Cox presided over the case.

Cause

On September 5, 2021, James Francis Frakes drove southbound on Interstate Highway 45 in Galveston County, Texas. His wife, Jennifer Frakes, and granddaughter, Brianna Frakes, were passengers. As they approached the 3300 block, heavy traffic forced James Frakes to stop completely. Jessica Lynn Renfro, traveling in the same direction behind them, failed to stop in time and collided with their vehicle. The police report, filed after the incident, stated that Renfro was solely responsible for the collision. The report cited several factors contributing to the accident, including Renfro’s failure to pay attention, her inability to control her vehicle’s speed, and her failure to maintain a safe following distance. These factors led to the rear-end collision with the stationary Frakes' vehicle.
