HOUSTON – The defendant in a state district lawsuit arising from an incident involving the novelty dance known as Twerking recently responded to the personal injury allegations against it.
As previously reported in The Southeast Texas Record, Insight Vision Care, P.C. was sued last September by employee Celia Yevenes on claims she was injured by a co-worker who attempted to Twerk at a social function hosted by the respondent.
In a 6-page original answer filed into Yevenes’s suit on Jan. 11, Insight acknowledges that the dancing co-worker, identified as Phatecia Wilson, injured the plaintiff, but argues the suit failed to show how the subject incident “is even remotely connected to (its) ophthalmology practice.”
Wilson is not a party in the litigation.
The law firm Johnson DeLuca Kurisky & Gould, P.C. in Houston is representing Insight.
