Collision caused multiple injuries, according to recently filed court documents

Three Midland County residents have filed suit seeking more than $1 million from the driver who they claim caused a collision on the highway.

Luis Palomares, minor Luis Palomares Jr. and Maltos Gilbert Palomares claim they were riding in a vehicle on State Highway 158 on Aug. 2, 2011, in Glasscock County when defendant Clifford Gon, who was driving for his employer, Redlac Enterprises, caused a collision.

Due to the accident, the plaintiffs experienced physical pain and suffering; endured emotional pain, torment and suffering; and incurred medical costs, according to the complaint filed July 23 in Jefferson County District Court. They also endured physical impairment and physical disfigurement; lost their physical ability; and lost wages, the suit states.

The plaintiffs blame Gon for causing the collision, saying he negligently failed to keep a proper lookout, failed to take proper evasive action, drove inattentively and failed to control his speed to avoid a collision.

In their complaint, the plaintiffs seek a judgment within the jurisdictional limits of the court, plus pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and other relief the court deems just.

Kevin Adley and Gilbert Garza of Adley Law Firm in Houston will be representing them.

Judge Milton Shuffield, 136^th District Court, has been assigned to the case.
