Accident Victim’s Parents File Wrongful Death Suit
Claim Driver Who Hit Their Son on Milpas Street was Negligent
The mother and father of a teenager killed by a truck while crossing Milpas Street have filed a wrongful death and personal injury lawsuit against the truck’s driver, alleging he was negligent.
Armando and Guadalupe Romero, parents to 15-year-old Sergio Romero, say in the suit filed earlier this month that Manuel Flores, Jr. was negligent as he drove a flatbed truck down Milpas on October 7 and struck Romero, who was crossing the street within a crosswalk.
The parents want to be compensated for funeral and burial expenses, hospital and medical costs, wage loss, loss of use of property, and loss of earning capacity. They have “been deprived of the love, companionship, affection, society, comfort, protection, services and support of their son, Sergio Romero,” the lawsuit states.
