Reginald Hubert has filed a lawsuit against Arthur Maxwell, First Transit, Inc., and Transdev Services, Inc. in the District Court of Harris County, Texas (Case No. 2024-22420). The filing was made on April 9, 2024.
Hubert alleges that he suffered serious injuries including broken bones, nerve damage, surgeries and extended hospitalization as a result of being struck by a Metro bus operated by Maxwell around noon on October 25, 2023. The plaintiff claims that Maxwell's negligence led to the accident. He further accuses First Transit and Transdev Services of operating under assumed or common names at the time of the incident.
The plaintiff is seeking aggregate monetary relief of more than $1 million for damages caused by the alleged negligence. Hubert's lawyers argue that Maxwell failed to operate his vehicle in obedience to traffic laws and regulations and with disregard for safety.
