A serious traffic collision has sparked a legal battle in Sacramento, California. On December 16, 2024, Ana Barbosa filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California against Juren Llarena, alleging negligence and seeking damages exceeding $35,000. The case stems from an incident on January 2, 2023, where Barbosa claims her vehicle was rear-ended by Llarena's SUV while she was stopped at a red light.
According to the complaint filed by Ana Barbosa through her attorney Andrew G. Minney of Clayeo C. Arnold, A Professional Law Corporation, the accident occurred at the intersection of Calvine Road and the Highway 99 on-ramp in Sacramento. Barbosa alleges that Llarena was driving a 2009 Honda SUV with consent and knowledge from other unnamed defendants when he negligently struck her 2015 Toyota Camry. She contends that this negligence resulted in significant personal injuries and property damage.
Barbosa's lawsuit outlines multiple accusations against Llarena and other unidentified parties referred to as "DOES" in the complaint. These allegations include negligent entrustment, management, maintenance, control, ownership, and operation of the vehicle involved in the crash. The plaintiff argues that these actions directly led to her injuries and subsequent medical expenses. Furthermore, Barbosa claims that due to her injuries, she has been unable to work for an unspecified period and anticipates further loss of earnings and earning capacity.
The complaint also highlights additional causes for concern beyond personal injury. It accuses Llarena and others of causing property damage to Barbosa's vehicle as well as depriving her of its use following the collision. As part of her legal action, Barbosa seeks general damages exceeding jurisdictional limits alongside compensation for lost income, medical expenses, property damage costs, prejudgment interest on damages awarded from when the cause arose under California Civil Code provisions—and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court.
Representing Ana Barbosa is attorney Andrew G. Minney from Clayeo C. Arnold—a law firm known for handling personal injury cases across California courts—while Judge overseeing this matter remains unnamed within documentation provided thus far; however it bears Case ID BAO esa 4o indicating official registration within local judiciary system.
