In the District Court of Harris County, Texas, plaintiff Nonso Lawrence Ndibe has filed a lawsuit against defendant Michelle Monique Bell. The court case ID is 2024-1 9755 / Court: 2a 1 and was filed on March 28, 2024. The lawsuit alleges that the defendant's negligence caused a car accident resulting in injuries to the plaintiff.
The incident occurred on May 25, 2023, when Ndibe was traveling eastbound on Westheimer Rd in Houston, Texas. Bell, allegedly preparing to exit a private lot, failed to yield the right-of-way causing a collision with Ndibe's vehicle. The plaintiff's lawyer claims that this negligence resulted in injuries to his client.
The damages sought by Ndibe fall between $250,000 and $1,000,000. The lawsuit cites multiple violations of the Texas Transportation Code committed by Bell as evidence of her negligence per se. These include failing to control speed, maintain an assured clear distance and yield right-of-way among others.
