A workplace injury has led to a significant legal battle in Harris County, Texas. Yandro Lopez has filed a lawsuit against Kalil Enterprises Corporation, doing business as A&N Enterprises, on April 9, 2025. The complaint was lodged in the District Court of Harris County and accuses the company of negligence leading to severe injuries sustained by Lopez.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on February 24, 2024, when Lopez was working for A&N Enterprises in Houston. He was directed by the company to clean one of their box trucks. During this task, a ramp lever on the truck caused serious injuries to his right hand. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant's negligence directly resulted in these injuries. Specifically, Lopez claims that A&N Enterprises failed to train and supervise him properly on how to safely clean the truck, did not warn him about the dangers posed by the ramp lever, and neglected to provide necessary instructions or establish hazard communication procedures.
Lopez's petition outlines several areas where he believes A&N Enterprises fell short of their responsibilities. These include failing to ensure a safe workplace free from recognized hazards and not providing adequate safety measures or warnings about potential risks associated with cleaning the truck. The plaintiff argues that these oversights constitute negligence and negligence per se under Texas law.
The plaintiff is seeking monetary relief exceeding $1 million for damages incurred due to physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, lost earnings, loss of earning capacity, and medical expenses both past and future. Additionally, Lopez is pursuing exemplary damages for what he describes as gross negligence by A&N Enterprises. He asserts that the company's actions demonstrated an extreme degree of risk and conscious indifference towards his safety.
In his filing, Lopez denies any allegations from the defendant suggesting contributory negligence on his part. He also seeks a protective order to safeguard his privacy rights concerning health information disclosed during litigation. Furthermore, Lopez demands a jury trial and requests prejudgment and post-judgment interest as permitted by Texas law.
Representing Yandro Lopez are attorneys Emilio L. Guerra and Alonzo Campos from Campos Law Group PLLC based in Austin, Texas. The case is identified under Cause No. 2025-24739 in the 234th Judicial District Court of Harris County with Judge Marilyn Burgess overseeing proceedings.
