The Ammons Law Firm has filed a personal injury lawsuit against Curtis & Son Companies, LLC, following a May 2025 collision on TC Jester Boulevard in Harris County that resulted in severe injuries to a motorist. The incident involved a 2003 Kenworth tractor-trailer operated by a driver for Curtis & Son Companies, LLC, and a 2014 Ford Escape sport utility vehicle. According to the lawsuit, the plaintiff was traveling westbound on the access road when the truck driver ran a red signal light and struck the Ford Escape as it crossed through the intersection. The plaintiff’s vehicle sustained major damage, and she was transported from the crash scene by ambulance with severe injuries.
The truck accident lawyers at The Ammons Law Firm allege that the truck driver ran a red light, failed to pay proper attention to driving, operated the 18-wheeler in a negligent or reckless manner, and engaged in unprofessional conduct for a professional truck driver operating on public roads, all while violating applicable Texas Transportation Code provisions. Beyond individual driver negligence, the lawsuit seeks to hold Curtis & Son Companies, LLC, acting as a motor carrier, accountable under the doctrine of respondeat superior, as the driver was allegedly acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the collision, and for independent corporate negligence, including failure to properly train the driver in safe driving practices and the safe operation of the 18-wheeler. The lawsuit contends that Curtis & Son Companies knew or should have known that entrusting its commercial vehicle to this driver created an unreasonable risk of harm to others on the road.
The lawsuit details the severe impact the collision has had on the injured plaintiff, who suffered physical pain and mental anguish, physical impairment, disfigurement, substantial medical expenses, and diminished earning capacity, all of which will continue for the rest of her life. The plaintiff is asking the court to award damages that a jury determines to be fair and reasonable, including compensation for all past and future medical expenses, lost earnings and earning capacity, physical and emotional suffering, and all related damages.
When commercial truck operators cause serious injuries through negligence, Texas law provides victims with the right to pursue compensation from both individual drivers and the companies that employ them. This case underscores the critical importance of holding trucking companies like Curtis & Son Companies accountable when their operations cause harm. Companies that operate commercial 18-wheelers on Texas roadways assume significant responsibilities to ensure their drivers are properly trained, supervised, and monitored, and when they fail in these duties, they endanger everyone on the road.
