The case, bearing the ID 1229204, was lodged on March 28, 2024. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants were responsible for a motor vehicle accident that resulted in damages to her property.
The plaintiff's lawyer, Stephen E. Garner from The Garner Law Firm, asserts that the accident occurred on May 15, 2023. It is alleged that defendant Valerie Elena Cerda drove negligently and unsafely, causing a collision with the plaintiff's vehicle. Furthermore, it is claimed that defendant Larry Lee Cerda negligently entrusted his vehicle to Valerie Elena Cerda who was deemed unlicensed and unfit to operate a motor vehicle safely.
