At Legally Pink Law we are interested in any factor that will affect the
outcome of your auto accident case. Recently a
story has broken concerning the effect a victim’s weight may have on the
amount they are awarded as a result of an auto accident.
Maria Vasquez of San Antonio, Texas found herself the victim of an auto
accident in May 2013. A driver ran a red light and subsequently hit Vasquez
and her fiancé in the intersection. They suffered minor injuries
including whiplash and their car was totaled. Her lawyer Adam Cortez discovered
that the insurance company was offering Vasquez less because they considered
her overweight at 5 foot three inches tall and 180 pounds. The insurance
companies claim that overweight people have a pre-existing condition and
don’t heal as fast as people at a healthy weight. The case continues
under litigation.
