Insurance company seeking reimbursement for money paid following collision

An insurance company has filed suit against a Beaumont woman after it doled out more than $6,000 to one of its clients following a collision.

Progressive County Mutual Insurance Co. claims it paid Patricia Espinoza $6,285.51 after she was involved in a collision on May 18, 2011.

Defendant Keneisha L. Moore had caused the collision after she failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to control her speed and failed to yield the right-of-way, according to the complaint filed May 23 in Jefferson County District Court.

Now, Progressive wants Moore to reimburse it for the money it paid to Espinoza.

In addition to the money it claims it is owed, Progressive is seeking pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and other relief the court deems just.

Patrick Clerkin of Javitch, Block and Rathbone in Richardson will be representing it.

The case has been assigned to Judge Donald Floyd, 172^nd District Court.

Case No. E194-372
