Doris Landaverde has filed a lawsuit against Fiesta Mart, LLC, claiming negligence after sustaining injuries at one of their stores. The complaint was lodged on January 17, 2025, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. Landaverde accuses Fiesta Mart of failing to maintain safe premises, leading to her accident and subsequent injuries.
According to the court documents, Doris Landaverde visited Fiesta Mart Store #43 in Houston on October 9, 2023. While walking towards the restroom, she slipped on a liquid substance that had created a hazardous condition due to the absence of warning signs or barriers. The plaintiff argues that this oversight by Fiesta Mart constituted negligence as it posed an unreasonable risk to invitees like herself. She contends that the store's failure to warn or protect its customers from such dangers directly resulted in her injuries.
Landaverde's legal action is based on several accusations against Fiesta Mart. She claims that as an invitee, she was owed a duty of care by the defendant who owned and operated the premises. The petition outlines multiple failures on part of Fiesta Mart: not maintaining safe conditions on their floors and walkways, neglecting proper inspections for potential hazards, and not training employees adequately regarding safety protocols. Furthermore, it is alleged that Fiesta Mart did not exercise ordinary care in hiring and supervising its staff.
The plaintiff seeks monetary relief ranging from $250,000 to $1 million for damages including physical pain, mental anguish, medical expenses both past and future, physical impairment, and loss of earning capacity. Additionally, she demands compensation for court costs along with pre-judgment and post-judgment interest as allowed by law.
Representing Doris Landaverde are attorneys Tarek Fahmy (Texas State Bar No. 24109852), Isela Anaya (Texas State Bar No. 24129630), and Ketzia Acosta (Texas State Bar No. 24142500) from The Law Offices of Tarek Fahmy in Houston. The case is identified under Case ID 2025-03739 in the Harris County District Court.
