HOUSTON – A Houston woman has filed a suit against the managers of a hotel in the city after a minor child was allegedly injured by a shelf.
Kelsey Cofer, individually and as next friend of minor N.M., filed a complaint on Feb. 26 in the Harris County District Court against Whitestone Hospitality Management LLC, et al. alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiffs allege that on Aug. 29, 2016, N. M. was injured at defendants' hotel room at Staybridge Suites - Houston Willowbrook when the bathroom shelf collapsed and fell on top of the minor's head. The plaintiffs allege they have incurred necessary medical expenses as a result of the incident.
The plaintiffs hold Whitestone Hospitality Management LLC, et al. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to inspect and/or repair the dangerous condition and failed to warn them that such danger existed.
The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek monetary relief of more than $100,000 but not less than $200,000, pre- and post-judgment interest, court costs and all other general and special relief. They are represented by Jack Todd Ivey and Jacob D. Barber of Ivey Law Firm PC in Houston.
