Seneca Insurance Company, Inc. vs. Warrior Trans Inc., et al., case No. 22STCV06893

In this case, Plaintiff is requesting Default Judgment against Defendants (1) Warrior Trans Inc., (2) Jitendar Singh, and (3) Gurpreet Singh. This is a subrogation claim.  There was a auto accident.  Defendant Gurpreet Singh was the driver of the vehicle that caused the accident.  Defendant Warrior Trans.
