MARSHALL — A customer is suing Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a retail store operator, citing alleged insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries and negligence.
Tonya Grisham filed a complaint on Oct. 10, in the Marshall Division of the Eastern District of Texas against Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. alleging that the retail store operator breached its duty to exercise ordinary care to protect its business invitees.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that, on Nov. 4, 2014, she was upon defendant's property when she sustained serious and permanent injuries a direct result of a fall due to a liquid substance on to the floor. Her injuries caused her to suffer medical and other health care related expenses, pain, disfigurement and mental anguish. The plaintiff holds Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to make the surface area reasonably safe, willfully allowed the dangerous condition to exist and continue and failed to warn her of the dangerous condition of the floor.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against defendant for damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs of court, and all such other and further relief to which she may be justly entitled. She is represented by Jason D. Mozingo of The Mozingo Law Firm PC in Tyler.
