Jose Carbo filed a complaint on June 13 in the Harris County District Court against Stewart Door LTD alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Oct. 10, 2016, he was injured while loading a garage door on a truck when he tripped over a forklift arm at the defendant's premises and fell. He alleges he suffered personal injuries resulting in medical expenses, pain and suffering, disfigurement and lost wages.
