On September 4, 2012, Tom Crosley settled a case involving an on-duty police officer who was injured by a drunk driver. Crosley’s client, a 33-year-old patrol officer, was struck nearly head-on while in his patrol car by the driver of a pickup truck, who had just left a bar. Another officer witnessed the accident and performed the accident investigation. The pickup truck driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.17. The investigating officer said he had been following the driver of the pickup, intending to pull him over to conduct a sobriety test. Crosley’s client was diagnosed with sprains and strains of the wrists and thumbs, which resulted from gripping the steering wheel at impact. The case resulted in a policy limits insurance settlement with the driver of the pickup truck. The case was pending in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.
