HOUSTON – A Harris County man alleges his leg was injured at a Houston car wash because the business failed to maintain the premises.

Gabriel Garcia filed a complaint on Nov. 8 in the Harris County District Court against Hentrich Properties LTD, doing business as Cleancar Partnership LTD, alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Oct. 24, he was an invitee at defendant's car wash facility to wash his motorcycle. While walking in the stall, the suit states he stepped onto a broken grating covering the drain and fell through it. The suit states the plaintiff's leg was "ripped in several places," resulting in pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability, medical expenses and loss of earnings. 

The plaintiff holds Hentrich Properties responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to maintain the premises and correct the dangerous condition and failed to provide an adequate warning.

The plaintiff seeks all damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs of court and all other relief to which he may be entitled. He is represented by Frederick L. McGuire, Etta Davidson and Haleigh Shanks of Law Office of Frederick L. McGuire in Liberty.
