HOUSTON — A man claims he slipped and fell at a Houston Kohl's store and suffered serious injuries.
Celida Rodriguez filed a complaint May 3 in Harris County District Court against Kohl's Department Stores Inc., doing business as Kohl's Store #544 alleging negligence.
Rodriguez claims in his suit that he was at the Kohl's on Barker Cypress Road in Houston on July 13, 2019. He alleges that as he was walking on the premises, he slipped and fell "due to a slippery substance on the floor" and suffered serious injuries.
Rodriguez further alleges that he also lost wages and incurred medical expenses as a result of his slip and fall. He claims that "at least one" of Kohl's employees "was aware of the dangerous condition" on the floor and failed to warn of the hazard. Rodriguez also claims Kohl's failed to maintain its store in a safe manner.
Rodriguez seeks monetary and all other just relief. He is represented by David Mestemaker, Norman Straub and Jonathan Zumwalt of Mestemaker, Straub & Zumwalt in Houston.
