HOUSTON – A New York woman is seeking $1 million in damages over alleged injuries caused by a chair in a Goodwill store.
Dawn Neil filed a complaint on Oct. 31 in the Harris County District Court against Goodwill Industries of Houston alleging premises liability and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on April 8, 2017, she was shopping at defendant's Goodwill store in Houston. She alleges as she sat on a chair, the chair collapsed from under her, causing injuries.
The plaintiff holds Goodwill Industries of Houston responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to inspect and make safe or warn the plaintiff of the chair's condition.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks monetary relief of more than $1 million and such other and further relief to which she may be justly entitled. She is represented by Daniel Johnson and Juan C. Garcia of Johnson Garcia LLP in Houston.
