HOUSTON — A Best Buy customer alleges the store employees' refusal to help him load a new stove into his truck led to his injuries.
Jorge Arturo Calderon Rojas filed a complaint Jan. 17 in Harris County District Court against Best Buy Stores LP alleging negligence and premises liability.
According to his suit, Rojas was a customer at the Best Buy on Old Katy Road in Houston on Jan. 16, 2020. He claims that as he loaded the stove he purchased into his vehicle, he crushed his hand on a sharp edge that was on the bottom of the stove.
Rojas alleges that Best Buy employees refused to help him load the stove into his truck and that they knew or should have known of the hazard caused by the sharp edge and failed to warn him of the dangerous condition.
He also alleges Best Buy sold him a defective product that resulted in his personal injuries which included disfigurement, pain and mental anguish.
Rojas seeks monetary relief, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. He is represented by Annie Basu and Adelyn Torres of The Basu Law Firm PLLC in Houston.
