HOUSTON — A Houston area Target employee who slipped in the store and suffered injuries is claiming the company's negligence. 

Tierra Taft filed a complaint Aug. 12 in Harris County District Court against Target Corporation alleging premises liability.

She alleges that as she was walking, she slipped and fell on her knee and suffered injuries including impairment, disfigurement, anxiety and has incurred medical costs. Taft claims Target was negligent for failing to monitor the condition of the store's floor, failing to clean the floor or to properly train its employees.
