Luong Nguyen had the misfortune of parking his vehicle at a townhome complex in west Houston. Apparently, the property managers of that complex, or more likely the towing company they hired to police the parking lot, thought he parked there illegally. When Nguyen ran out to see that his car was being towed, he tried to stop the wrecker driver. Unfortunately for Nguyen, the wrecker driver was trained in mixed martial arts, as he "grabbed him in a headlock, punched him and threw him to the ground." Not surprisingly, the car was towed and Nguyen had to spend nearly $6,000 to recover from his injuries.
In Nguyen's lawsuit filed in Harris County yesterday, he claimed that the wrecker driver committed an intentional tort (assault) against him (well, duh!) and that his employer was negligent in hiring, retaining, and supervising him. He even sued the townhome complex for failing to supervise the towing company.
Cause No. 2012-29493, Nguyen v. Martin, et al., In the 281st Judicial District Court, Harris County, Texas
