HOUSTON – A condo owner in a Houston condominium property is seeking a minimum of $200,000 in damages after falling in the parking lot.
Elida Herren filed a complaint on Aug. 29 in the Harris County District Court against Westchase Condominium Association and Creative Management Co. alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 26, 2017, she was injured at defendants' parking lot when she tripped and fell on exposed, unmarked steel bolts that rose above the pavement that were left over from the removal of a fence. She alleges she sustained personal injuries resulting in pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earnings and medical care expenses.
The plaintiff holds Westchase Condominium Association and Creative Management Co. responsible because the defendants allegedly failed to properly inspect the premises to discover the exposed bolts, failed to eliminate the dangerous condition and failed to provide adequate warning of the existing danger.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks monetary relief of more than $200,000 but less than $1 million and such other and further relief to which she is justly entitled. She is represented by Ronald T. McLain of The McLain Law Group in Houston.
