BEAUMONT - An automobile collision lawsuit was recently filed against G.W. Trucking and GW Materials.
Seeking more than $1 million in damages, Quan Do filed the lawsuit on Feb. 22 in Jefferson County District Court, also naming Roman Narvaez, Karla Murillo Tejeda and Maria Hernandez as defendants.
According to the lawsuit, on March 19, 2020, Do was traveling on Highway 73 in Jefferson County and operating his vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner when defendant Tejeda slowed down to pull over to the side of the road causing plaintiff to apply his brakes.
“Suddenly, without warning, Defendant ROMAN NARVAEZ failed to pay attention to the roadway and smashed into Mr. Do’s vehicle with his work truck,” the suit states. “ROMAN NARVAEZ was in the course and scope of his employment with Defendant G.W. TRUCKING, INC. at the time of the collision. Following the bad crash, Officer Jeremy Sims of the Port Arthur Police Department investigated the crash and issued two citations to each defendant.
“Defendant KARLA MURILLO TEJEDA received a citation for having an invalid driver’s license while Defendant ROMAN NARVAEZ reached a citation for failing to control his speed. As a result of Defendants’ negligence, Plaintiff is seriously and permanently injured.”
Do is suing for punitive damages.
Attorneys Cody Dishon and Samantha Leifeste of The Ferguson Law Firm in Beaumont represent the plaintiff. The plaintiff is also represented by the Sean Nguyen Law Firm in Port Arthur.
