GALVESTON — A woman claims a recently mopped floor caused her slip and fall at a Galveston aquarium.
Kelly Gavin filed a complaint Sept. 12 in Galveston County District Court against Moody Gardens Inc., alleging liability.
Gavin, according to her complaint, was at the Moody Gardens property on Hope Boulevard in Galveston on May 9, 2023. She claims the floor had been recently mopped with no warning posted which caused her to fall and suffer a broken wrist and thumb.
Gavin alleges Moody Gardens' failed to provide a reasonably safe environment, did not keep its walkways clear of hazards and liquids and failed to place signs in the area to warn of the hazard.
