A Baytown mortician is suing after, he says, a drunk driver from Aldine caused an accident, totaling the customized Suburban he used to transport human remains.
James Harrison, doing business as Harrison Mortician Service, of Baytown, filed a lawsuit on March 28 in the Harris County District Court against Aldine residents Pedro Vasquez and Yolanda Torres, alleging negligence, gross negligence and negligent entrustment.
Harrison, a commercial embalmer and mortician, says that on Oct. 3, 2009, an intoxicated Vasquez caused a car accident, which totaled the customized Suburban he used to transport bio-hazardous cargo for his business. Harrison claims that because it was impossible to rent a vehicle customized to transport human remains, he was forced to turn away business, costing him $900 a day.
Harrison is seeking all the damages to which he is entitled and court costs. He is being represented in the case by Houston attorney R. Kyle Hawes.
