HOUSTON – A Miami, Florida resident alleges she needed immediate medical treatment for a broken spine after slipping on a bathroom mat at a Houston hotel.

Tamara Elia filed a complaint on Jan. 17 in the Harris County District Court against Sheraton License Operating Co., et al. alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Jan. 23, 2017, she was a guest at defendants' hotel in Houston when she slipped when she stepped on the bathroom mat in her room. The suit states she required immediate emergency treatment for a broken spine because of the allegedly negligent condition.
