Law money 03

GALVESTON — A Harris County man is suing a Houston contractor and concrete boom operator, alleging their negligence led to injuries for the plaintiff. 

Daniel Carillo Beltran filed a lawsuit Oct. 6 in Galveston County District Court against Hi-Tech Concrete Pumping Services LLC and Richard Carmody, alleging failure to provide a safe place to work.

According to the complaint, on Oct. 19, 2015, in the course of Beltran's employment, he sustained serious and disabling injuries while working at a League City construction site for the Dickinson Educational Building when a boom struck him on the side of his head. The suit says Beltran continues to experience medical expenses and charges, pain and mental anguish, physical disfigurement and lost wage-earning capability. 

The plaintiff alleges Hi-Tech Concrete failed to provide proper training on how to safely operate a remote controlled concrete boom and failed to warn Beltran of the dangerous condition that existed at the work site.

Beltran seeks trial by jury, monetary relief between $200,000 and $1 million, pre- and post-judgment interest, and all other relief to which he is justly entitled. He is represented by attorney Heriberto Ramos of Heriberto Ramos & Associates PC in Houston.
