HOUSTON — A Montgomery County couple is suing a cement company, alleging the plaintiffs' vehicle was struck by a cement truck.
Hortensia Espino-Alejandre and Marbella Espino-Alejandre filed a complaint April 8 in Harris County District Court against Cemex Inc., and Alric Durant Small Sr., alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, on July 11, 2018, the plaintiffs were in their vehicle at a complete stop on Huffsmith Korhrville Road in Tomball. The suit says Small, who was operating a cement truck owned by Cemex, failed to stop quickly enough and collided with the plaintiffs' vehicle.
The plaintiffs allege they sustained serious personal injuries because Small failed to keep proper lookout, failed to apply the brakes and made an unsafe lame change.
The Espino-Alejandres seek court costs, damages between $200,000 and $1 million and all equitable and just relief. They are is represented by attorney Jonathan C. Kieschnick of Houston.
