HOUSTON — A parking attendant claims he tripped over an unmarked speed bump at the Buffalo Speedway and suffered a shattered femur and other injuries.
Eugene Chambers filed a complaint March 10 in Harris County District Court against Parkway Property Investments LLC alleging negligent exposure to unsafe condition.
Chambers alleges in his suit that on Oct. 5, 2019, he was working for SP Plus as a parking attendant at the Buffalo Speedway at Greenway Plaza. He claims his duties included directing vehicles to park in open spaces and that while looking "in a seldom used area" for additional parking spots, he tripped and fell over an unmarked speed bump and shattered his right femur and suffered other injuries.
Chambers clams the defendants exposed him to an unsafe condition by having unmarked speed bumps in the parking lot and they failed to limit his risk of harm by either blocking off the area or marking the speed bump with paint.
Chambers seeks monetary relief between $250,000 and $1 million interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. He is represented by Carlos Leon, Piero Garcia and Magaly Grimaldo of The Leon Law Firm PC in Sugar Land.
