A Texas judge ordered a new trial after a defense verdict in a car accident lawsuit in Jefferson County, Texas.
Interestingly, the judge offered no explanation why a new trial was warranted. Judges usually have pretty specific reasons for granting a new trial. The article summarizing the case was not entirely clear on the details of the grounds under which Plaintiff's auto accident lawyer sought a new trial. It is particularly surprising in a case involving a unsafe lane change because it is typically a question of fact for the jury.
