Potts Law Firm Sues AT&T Over Sagging Utility Lines Causing Crash

Potts Law Firm has filed a lawsuit against AT&T following a serious accident in Midland, Texas, where an 18-wheeler crashed due to sagging utility lines that sagged dangerously low over the roadway. The lawsuit, titled Felix Alberto Prieto and Yvette Gandara v. Southwestern Bell Telephone Company d/b/a AT&T Texas, Case No. DC-26-17579, is set to be heard in the Dallas County District Court.
