Jasmine Blow has filed a lawsuit against JMAS Texas Lawn Care Corporation, claiming negligence after an incident that left her minor child injured. The complaint was filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on February 7, 2025. The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $1,000,000 from the defendant.
The case revolves around an unfortunate event that occurred on January 6, 2025. Jasmine Blow's child was playing in their neighborhood cul-de-sac at 5003 Evening Moon Lane in Katy, Texas when an employee of JMAS Texas Lawn Care Corporation allegedly failed to exercise reasonable care while operating a lawn maintenance vehicle. According to the complaint, the employee lowered the liftgate of the vehicle without proper awareness of his surroundings, striking and injuring Blow's child. The injuries sustained were primarily to the head and face.
Blow asserts that JMAS Texas Lawn Care Corporation is liable for these injuries under the legal doctrine of respondeat superior, which holds employers accountable for their employees' actions performed within the scope of employment. Furthermore, she accuses the company of negligence in hiring, training, and supervising its employees. "Defendant’s actions and/or omissions proximately caused the injuries and damages made the basis of this lawsuit," states the complaint.
In addition to compensatory damages for medical expenses and suffering, Blow seeks punitive damages. She argues that JMAS Texas Lawn Care Corporation acted with "conscious disregard for an extreme danger" and exhibited a lack of concern for potential harm to others. This behavior justifies punitive measures according to Blow's legal team.
The plaintiffs are demanding a jury trial and have requested a Level 2 discovery control plan under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 190.3. They have also emphasized preserving all evidence related to the incident to prevent spoliation.
Representing Jasmine Blow are attorneys Richard “Trey” Barton III and Derek G. Flynn from the Law Office of Richard L. Barton III PLLC based in Houston, Texas. The case is being heard by Judge Rhonda Moron in Harris County's 151st Judicial District Court under Case ID 2025-08523.
