Maria Alvarez filed a complaint Oct. 4 in Harris County District Court against 14365 South Post Oak Road LTD doing business as South Post Oak Self Storage and 14365 South Post Oak Road Management LLC alleging negligence.
According to Alvarez's complaint, she was on the defendants' property on March 6, 2021. She claims that while on the property, a large metal gate fell on her and caused her to suffer severe and debilitating injuries including disfigurement, impairment, lost wages and to also incur medical expenses.
