"She exited and while walking over to an automobile to leave the immediate premises, she suddenly and unexpectedly was caused to trip and thrown to the concrete below," the suit said.

"Despite Defendant's knowledge of the unreasonably dangerous condition, there was no warning of the condition made to the Plaintiff or others similarly situated."

The suit goes on to allege that the defendants committed the following acted of negligence:

  • Failing to correct, repair, reduce or eliminate, or to have corrected, repaired, reduced or eliminated the dangerous condition;
  • Failing to inspect and/or adequately inspect;
  • Failing to maintain and/or adequately maintain;

  • Failing to instruct and/or adequately instruct;
  • Failing to barricade the dangerous condition;
  • In negligently exercising its retained right of control over the injury-causing event;
  • And failing to leave the premises free from foreseeable injury causing conditions.

    Eatman is suing for compensatory and exemplary damages, plus past and future medical expenses, mental anguish and lost earnings.

    She is requesting a trial by jury and is represented by the Law Offices of Gilbert T. Adams.

    Judge Bob Wortham, 58th Judicial District, has been assigned to the case.
