GALVESTON – A Crosby woman has filed a slip and fall lawsuit against a Cajun restaurant in Kemah.
Sheryl Lynn Newberry’s suit, which was filed on Mar. 19 in the Galveston County 212th District Court, asserts that Cass Cajun Restaurants, LLC, doing business as Crazy Alan’s Swamp Shack, bears responsibility for the Feb. 18, 2018 that occurred in its women’s restroom.
“On the occasion in question, Sheryl Lynn was entering the ladies’ restroom where she took two steps inside before her feet slipped out in front of her causing her to fall backwards, violently striking the back of her head and back,” court documents say. “When Sheryl Lynn sat up, she saw water, grease and food waste that had apparently been pushed from the hallway and had been left on the bathroom floor.”
According to the plaintiff, the eatery did not place any signs to alert customers “of this dangerous condition that lay hidden behind the closed bathroom door.”
Consequently, she seeks unspecified monetary damages.
Todd G. Riff of the law firm Riff & Associates, P.C. in Houston is representing Newberry.
