Ricardo Ibanez has filed a lawsuit against Amalio Perez in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, under the court case ID 2024-24549 on April 17, 2024. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant's negligence and reckless driving resulted in a car crash into his apartment, causing him severe personal injuries.
On July 22, 2023, Ibanez was in his apartment at 6200 W Bellfort Ave., Apt. 336 when Perez drove through his bedroom wall, knocking him off his bed. Perez fled the scene but was later arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). As a result of this incident, Ibanez sustained serious injuries requiring medical attention.
The plaintiff accuses Perez of failing to maintain a reasonable speed and distance between vehicles, driver inattention, and failure to timely apply brakes. These actions are alleged to have violated several sections of the Texas Transportation Code and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
Ibanez is seeking damages for physical pain and mental anguish both past and future, as well as for the reasonable and necessary costs for medical care and treatment including doctors, hospitals, nurses, medicines.
