Montes incurred medical expenses and suffered physical pain and suffering in addition to loss of earnings due to this incident.
Montes is seeking monetary relief over $1,000,000 for damages including past and future medical expenses, past and future physical pain and suffering, loss of earnings in the past and future as well as past and future mental anguish. A jury trial has been demanded by the plaintiff.
