HOUSTON – A motorist alleges a Houston officer failed to yield at stop sign and caused a collision.
Steven Dinh filed a complaint on March 7 in the Harris County District Court against the city of Houston alleging negligence and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 15, 2016, he suffered injuries and damages when defendant's employee, Officer Vaibhavi Patel, negligently failed to yield to the right of way at a stop sign and struck the plaintiff. He alleges he sustained significant injuries that resulted in lost wages and other damages.
