BEAUMONT – A Port Arthur Walmart shopper alleges she was injured in the store because of water on the floor.
Mirta Negrete filed a complaint on July 25 in the Jefferson County District Court against Wal-Mart Stores Texas LLC alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 24, 2015, she was a customer at defendant's Walmart store on Memorial Boulevard when she slipped and fell on a puddle of water on the floor. She alleges she sustained serious injury to her left knee.
The plaintiff holds Wal-Mart Stores Texas LLC responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to warn plaintiff of the existence of such defects.
