Beaumont local Edalynn Roper has filed a slip and fall lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores for injuries she allegedly received two years ago.
The suit was filed April 11 in Jefferson County District Court.

Seeking more than $100,000 in damages, Roper is suing for her alleged past and future medical expenses, mental anguish, pain and lost wages.
Attorney John Parsons of the Beaumont law firm Lindsay, Lindsay & Parsons represents her.
Judge Donald Floyd, 172nd District Court, is assigned to the case.
