Discovery
is still ongoing in litigation brought by Wendall and Frances Hulse,
who sued the makers and distributors of a motorcycle helmet, alleging
the helmet was not equipped with “critical injury prevention
technology.”
As previously reported, the suit was filed June 21, 2012, in Jefferson County District Court and names Hongjin Crown Corp. and Cowboy Motorsports as
defendants.
Court records show that on April 29 HJC filed a
certificate of written discovery, showing it served its answers and
objections to plaintiffs’ second interrogatory.
The lawsuit
alleges that on Sept. 22, 2011, Wendall was injured in a motorcycle
crash. The helmet he was wearing was purchased at Cowboy Motorsport and
manufactured by HJC.
“Plaintiffs contend that the helmet was
defective and that is was not equipped with critical injury prevention
technology,” the suit states, adding that the helmet’s defects were the
producing causes of Wendall’s injuries.
The suit does not
state how Wendall’s wreck occurred but does allege the defendants were
aware of the helmet’s defects and negligently placed it into the stream
of commerce.
Wendall is suing for his alleged past and future
medical expenses, mental anguish, pain, impairment, disfigurement and
lost wages, plus all court
costs.
Frances is suing for mental anguish damages.
Houston attorney John Stevenson Jr. of Stevenson & Murray represents them.
Cowboy Motorsports is represented by attorney Nicholas Zito of the Houston law firm Ramey, Chandler, Quinn & Zito.
Judge Milton Shuffield, 136th District Court, is assigned to the case.
Case No. D192-606
