Tammy Davis has filed a lawsuit against a McDonald's franchise, alleging negligence after suffering severe injuries from a slip and fall incident. The complaint was filed on January 10, 2025, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, targeting DMMAC, LP doing business as McDonald's.

The lawsuit details an incident that occurred on February 17, 2024, when Tammy Davis visited the McDonald's location at 7302 Highway 6 North in Houston. She entered the premises to purchase food but encountered a hazardous condition—a wet floor—that led to her slipping and sustaining serious injuries requiring surgery. Davis claims that the dangerous condition was known or should have been known by the defendant, yet no action was taken to rectify it or warn patrons like herself.

According to the petition, DMMAC, LP is accused of multiple counts of negligence. These include failing to maintain safe premises by allowing the floor to remain wet without warning customers or taking corrective measures. The plaintiff asserts that this negligence directly caused her injuries and resulted in significant physical pain and mental anguish. Furthermore, she alleges that McDonald's had control over the premises and thus bore responsibility for ensuring customer safety.

Davis seeks monetary relief exceeding $1 million for damages including past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, physical impairment, disfigurement, and mental anguish. Additionally, she requests exemplary damages due to what she describes as conscious indifference by McDonald's towards customer safety. The case emphasizes her demand for both compensatory and punitive damages within the jurisdictional limits of the court.

Representing Tammy Davis is an unnamed attorney whose details are not specified in the document. The case is presided over by Judge Marilyn Burgess in Harris County's 333rd Judicial District Court under Case ID 2025-02214.
