Raoul Navarro filed a complaint Aug. 17 in Harris County District Court against Montierra Apartments also known as Montierra Houston Apartments GP LLC and others alleging premises liability.
Navarro alleges in his suit that he was walking down the stairs at the Montierra Apartments on Sage Road in Houston on Sept. 17, 2019. He claims he slipped on wet paint on the floor and suffered serious injuries.
