Deciderio Castillo Torres has filed a lawsuit against Lowe's Home Centers, L.L.C., accusing the company of negligence that led to serious injuries. The complaint was lodged in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on November 7, 2024. Castillo Torres claims that an incident at a Lowe's store in Pasadena resulted in his permanent bodily harm due to unsafe conditions and negligent actions by the store's employees.
According to the lawsuit, Deciderio Castillo Torres was injured on January 25, 2024, while loading materials onto his truck at the Lowe’s location on Fairmont Parkway. The plaintiff alleges that employees of Lowe’s negligently handled a high-stacked load of insulation, causing it to become uncontrollable and leading to his injuries. The petition states that this mishap was a direct result of Lowe’s failure to maintain safe premises and adequately train its staff. Castillo Torres argues that he was an invitee on the premises and thus entitled to a safe environment.
The lawsuit outlines several specific accusations against Lowe's Home Centers, L.L.C., including failing to provide a safe area for loading vehicles, permitting dangerous conditions to persist without adequate warning or remediation, and neglecting regular inspections of the premises. Furthermore, it is alleged that Lowe’s did not properly supervise or train its employees regarding the handling and maneuvering of materials on flatbed carts. Castillo Torres claims these failures constitute negligence under Texas law and were the proximate cause of his injuries.
Castillo Torres seeks monetary compensation from Lowe's for damages exceeding $250,000 but not more than $1 million. He also requests coverage for court costs and both pre-judgment and post-judgment interest at the legal rate. Additionally, he demands a jury trial to resolve these claims.
The case is represented by attorney Richard Jason Nava from Nava Law Group P.C., with Tony Garza listed as another contact for legal correspondence. The presiding judge is yet unnamed in Case ID 2024-78443 filed in Court 333.
