Carla George has filed a lawsuit against Meera & Dave Business Inc., doing business as Wave on Lake Conroe, following a traumatic incident at their restaurant. The complaint was lodged in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on February 28, 2025. George alleges that the establishment's negligence led to her suffering serious injuries.
According to the petition, Carla George was dining at Wave on Lake Conroe on April 5, 2024. As she exited through the patio, she encountered an unexpected drop-down hazard that resulted in her falling and sustaining significant injuries. The plaintiff claims that this dangerous condition was not marked by any warnings or barriers and had previously caused similar incidents with other patrons. George asserts that these circumstances reflect negligence on the part of the restaurant's management for failing to maintain a safe environment for its customers.
The lawsuit outlines several accusations against Meera & Dave Business Inc., including negligence and premises liability. The petition states that the defendant failed to exercise reasonable care in maintaining safe conditions within their premises and neglected to warn patrons about potential hazards. It is further alleged that employees of Wave on Lake Conroe were aware or should have been aware of the risks posed by the unmarked drop-down but did not take appropriate measures to rectify it or alert customers.
George is seeking over $1 million in damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of earnings capacity resulting from her injuries. She also requests exemplary damages due to what she describes as gross negligence by the defendant. The plaintiff argues that such negligence demonstrates a conscious disregard for customer safety and warrants punitive action.
The case emphasizes the legal principle of respondeat superior, holding Meera & Dave Business Inc. accountable for the actions of its employees who were responsible for maintaining safe conditions at the restaurant. The plaintiff's legal team contends that proper training and supervision could have prevented this incident.
Representing Carla George are attorneys Brant J. Stogner and Jordi A. Vargas from Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner law firm based in Houston, Texas. The case is presided over by Judge Tianni Williams under Case ID 2025-13870.
