In a case filed on March 28, 2024, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (case ID: 2024-19787), plaintiff Amparo Solorzano Gomez has lodged a complaint against defendants Jose Padilla and Belknap Plumbing Systems, Inc. The lawsuit revolves around an automobile accident that allegedly resulted from the negligence of the defendants.
Represented by an unnamed attorney, Gomez alleges that on June 8, 2022, she was traveling southbound at the 100 block of West Sam Houston Parkway North in Harris County when Padilla failed to control his vehicle's speed and collided with her car. At the time of the incident, Padilla was reportedly acting within his employment scope for Belknap Plumbing Systems.
The collision resulted in physical injuries and damages to Gomez. She claims that her damages exceed $250,000 but do not surpass $1,000,000. The plaintiff argues that both defendants were negligent; Padilla for his driving behavior and Belknap Plumbing Systems for entrusting their vehicle to him.
Gomez is seeking judgment against both defendants for their alleged negligence. She is asking for compensation for her personal injuries, mental anguish, physical pain and suffering, past medical expenses, impairment and disability.
