Progressive County Mutual Insurance Company has filed a lawsuit seeking compensation for damages caused by a negligent driver. The complaint was lodged in the Harris County District Court on May 2, 2025, against Eliazar Perez Sanchez. This legal action underscores the company's commitment to holding individuals accountable for their actions on the road.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on July 3, 2022, near FM 529 and Queenston Boulevard in Harris County, Texas. According to the plaintiff, Progressive County Mutual Insurance Company, a vehicle owned by their insured, Octavio Sanchez, was involved in a collision with a vehicle negligently operated by Eliazar Perez Sanchez. The negligence of Mr. Sanchez allegedly resulted in damages amounting to $11,980.92. Progressive compensated its insured for this loss and now seeks subrogation for the same amount from the defendant.
The insurance company is invoking Texas Transportation Code §601.335 as part of its legal strategy. They are requesting that the court allows both parties to enter into written installment payment agreements without further orders from the court if necessary. This approach suggests an openness to resolving the matter amicably while ensuring that justice is served.
In its prayer for relief, Progressive County Mutual Insurance Company asks that Eliazar Perez Sanchez be cited to answer and appear before the court. After a final trial, they seek judgment against him for $11,980.92 plus prejudgment and post-judgment interest and costs associated with the suit. The company also requests any other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
