HOUSTON – A Harris County resident alleges she was injured at a Houston store because of a spilled soft drink.
Maria Delia Garcia filed a complaint on Dec. 21 in the Harris County District Court against Dollar Tree Stores Inc. alleging premises liability.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Jan. 14, 2017, she was an invitee at defendant's store in Houston when slipped and fell because of a spilled soft drink on the floor and was injured.
