Sharon Renfro's lawsuit against a prominent hospital brings to light a shocking incident that has left her with severe injuries and ongoing distress. Filed on February 28, 2025, in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, Renfro accuses Houston Methodist Hospital of negligence after a fall at their facility. This case underscores the critical importance of safety measures in public spaces and the dire consequences when they are overlooked.
The complaint was filed by Sharon Renfro, who resides in Harris County, Texas. She is represented by attorney Alex Udorah from The Law Office of Alex Udorah. The lawsuit centers around an incident that occurred on October 10, 2024, when Renfro visited Houston Methodist Hospital located at 6565 Fannin Street in Houston. During her visit, she slipped and fell due to a wet floor near the coffee station on the sixth floor of the hospital. Renfro alleges that there were no warning signs or indicators of the hazardous condition, which led to her unexpected fall.
Renfro's petition outlines the events following her fall: nurses attempted to assist her but struggled due to the saturation of the floor. Eventually, towels were used to dry the area before she could be safely moved onto a gurney and admitted to the emergency room. The fall resulted in significant trauma to multiple parts of her body including her shoulder, back, legs, wrist, and hands. As a result of these injuries, Renfro claims she has experienced severe pain, swelling, bruising, diminished quality of life, and loss of consortium.
In terms of legal grounds for her case against Houston Methodist Hospital, Renfro asserts that their negligence directly caused her injuries. She is seeking monetary relief ranging from $190,000 to $1 million as per Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 47(c). Her claim includes compensation for past and future medical expenses; past and future pain; suffering and mental anguish; physical impairment; disfigurement; lost wages; and loss of earning capacity.
Renfro's legal representation emphasizes that this case falls under common law jurisdiction within Texas and highlights that all significant events leading up to this claim took place within Harris County. Furthermore, she demands disclosure from the defendant as per Texan civil procedure rules without awaiting discovery requests.
