HOUSTON — A cleaning company worker claims she fell at least 12 feet off a ladder at a job site and suffered a broken wrist and other injuries. 

Senovia Cardona filed a complaint March 29 in Harris County District Court against J&B Professional Cleaning Service LLC alleging negligence.

Cardona alleges in her complaint that she was working for J&B at a job site on Limber Pines in Magnolia on May 1, 2020, and "was instructed to climb an A-frame ladder to clean a 16-foot-tall window." She claims she climbed the ladder with no supervision or anyone to hold it stable and when she got about 12 feet off the ground, she fell and broke her wrist and injured her neck and back.  

Cardona alleges J&B is negligent for not providing safe working conditions and failed to "properly direct and participate in efforts" for the safety of its workers. She also alleges J&B knew or should have known about the dangerous conditions and failed to implement safety protocols for workers' use of ladders at job sites. 

Cardona seeks monetary relief of more than $1 million, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. She is represented by Victoria Mendoza, Kevin Acevedo and Marco Gonzalez of The Gonzalez Law Group PLLC in Houston. 

Harris County District Court case number 2021-18385
