A family in North Laredo woke up to a large crash. They were surprised to see an SUV in their dining room.

 
The owners of the home were awakened around 3:45 a.m. on Thursday, April 8. The family went into their dining room and saw that the walls and window of the room were completely smashed in and an SUV was inside the room. The driver trying to get out of the vehicle, so the home owners asked her to turn off her car and stay still. Then they called the police.

 
The police had received calls about a driver who was driving erratically.  They were already looking for the vehicle.

 
Forty-year-old Elizabeth Garcia was arrested for driving while intoxicated.  There were several empty beer bottles in the front seat. No one was injured.

 
In this accident, the driver caused significant damage and losses without causing injury. The homeowners are still eligible to receive insurance compensation from the driver’s insurance company and perhaps even from their home owner’s policy for the property damage, for their housing costs while the home repaired, for psychological trauma, and for their other losses.  We advise that they speak to an experienced car crash attorney who can evaluate the damages. The insurance companies may not want to pay for all their losses, so a lawyer can also negotiate with the insurance companies and provide the necessary paperwork and documentation to get a fair settlement.
