HOUSTON – The First Court of Appeals recently affirmed a summary judgment win for the defendants in an assault lawsuit.
In 2017, Samuel Abdo filed suit against Richmond Stop Food Mart, Husam Ent. Inc., and Mohid Almohamad.
In his suit, Abdo alleges that while visiting a business owned by the defendants in May 2016, he was physically assaulted by an employee and sustained injuries. He filed a personal injury lawsuit six months later.
Court records show the defendants moved for a no-evidence summary judgment, which was granted by the trial court.
Justices affirmed the ruling on Aug. 3, holding that “Abdo has not shown that the trial court reversibly erred in refusing to reconsider its summary judgment or order a new trial on his negligence and premises liability claims against” the defendants.
Appeals case No. 01-20-00031-CV
