Irene Dixon has taken legal action against three individuals, accusing them of negligence that led to her personal injuries. The complaint was filed by Irene Dixon in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on January 3, 2025, against defendants Ivory West, Loshawn Branch, and Quienta Franks-Branch.
According to the petition, Irene Dixon claims she sustained severe injuries while working under the direction of Ivory West at the residence of Loshawn Branch and Quienta Franks-Branch on April 27, 2023. She was performing house repairs when a saw malfunctioned, resulting in a significant cut to her right arm. Dixon asserts that this incident was due to the negligence of all three defendants. The lawsuit details various alleged failures on their part: from not providing adequate safety equipment and training to failing to maintain a safe work environment. "Defendants failed to use ordinary care," states the complaint, citing multiple lapses such as inadequate safety policies and improper supervision.
Dixon is seeking monetary relief for her injuries and damages that include physical pain, medical expenses, and physical impairment both past and future. The plaintiff is requesting a jury trial to determine fair compensation for these damages. She estimates her losses exceed $250,000 but do not surpass $1 million. In addition to financial compensation, Dixon seeks pre-judgment and post-judgment interest as allowed by law, along with court costs.
Representing Irene Dixon are attorneys Richard J. Presutti, Meredith M. Smith, Anthony T. Presutti, and Sarah M. Whitehead from the Law Office of Richard J. Presutti P.C., located in Houston, Texas. The case is filed under Case ID 2025-00416 in the 269th Judicial District Court of Harris County.
