HOUSTON — A washateria in Houston is facing a suit after a man claims he slipped on a substance while entering the premises and suffered injuries.
John Lockett filed a complaint March 3 in Harris County District Court against Griggs Washateria LLC alleging negligence.
According to Lockett's complaint, he was at the Griggs Washateria on Griggs Road in Houston on Feb. 8, 2021. He alleges that while walking into the store, he slipped and fell on a "slick substance" that was on the floor and suffered "severe and permanent" injuries.
Lockett claims Griggs Washateria neither corrected or warned of the "unreasonably dangerous" condition and failed to inspect and maintain its premises. He further claims Griggs Washateria knew or should have known of the hazard and act as a "reasonably prudent premise owner."
Lockett seeks monetary relief of between $250,000 and $1 million and all other just relief. He is represented by Nathan Surprise of The Daspit Law Firm in Houston.
