Clea Ferguson has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a minor, S.T., against Priscilla Cruz, alleging negligence that resulted in personal injury. The complaint was filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on January 9, 2025.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on May 2, 2022, involving S.T., a minor who was injured while in a vehicle driven by Priscilla Cruz. Clea Ferguson, acting as the next friend of S.T., asserts that Cruz's negligence directly caused the injuries sustained by the minor. According to the petition, "Plaintiff alleges that the negligence of Defendant proximately caused her injuries upon minor Plaintiff." The plaintiff seeks compensation for all damages recoverable under Texas law for personal injury and related medical expenses.
Ferguson emphasizes that both past and future damages are being sought within the jurisdictional limits of the court. Notably, it is mentioned that "the parties and their representatives have reached a settlement agreement," which indicates a resolution may be forthcoming pending court approval. The plaintiff requests that the court appoints a guardian ad litem to represent S.T.'s legal interests during this process and subsequently approve the settlement agreement reached between both parties.
In terms of relief sought from the court, Ferguson prays for necessary actions to protect S.T.'s interests through the appointment of a guardian ad litem and approval of the settlement. The plaintiff also seeks any additional relief deemed just by law or equity.
The legal representation for Clea Ferguson is provided by Brit Mitchell from Snead Mitchell LLP. The case is identified under Case ID 2025-01508 and will be presided over in Harris County's District Court No. 11.
