Jennette Addison has taken legal action against a well-known restaurant supply company, citing negligence that led to severe injuries. On April 4, 2025, Addison filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, against RD America, LLC doing business as Restaurant Depot, LLC, along with JMDH Real Estate of Tomball, LLC and Jetro Holdings, LLC.
According to the lawsuit filed by Jennette Addison, the incident occurred on July 1, 2023. Addison claims she was walking through a restaurant supply store owned and operated by the defendants at 23815 SH 249 in Tomball, Texas when she slipped and fell due to dangerous conditions on the premises. The complaint alleges that the defendants were aware of these hazardous conditions prior to her fall but failed to address them adequately. "As a proximate result of Defendants’ negligence," Addison states in her petition, "Ms. Addison suffered severe and debilitating injuries." She further asserts that these injuries have necessitated extensive medical care and will continue to do so.
The plaintiff's case hinges on several key points: she was an invitee on the premises for mutual benefit; thus, the defendants owed her a duty of ordinary care. This duty included inspecting the premises for potential hazards and either warning about or remedying any dangerous conditions. The failure to do so constitutes a breach of this duty according to Addison's claim. She argues that this breach directly resulted in her fall and subsequent injuries.
Addison is seeking damages within the jurisdictional limits of the court but specifies that her claim does not exceed $75,000. This amount includes all elements of economic and non-economic damages such as past and future pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment as well as pre-judgment and post-judgment interest along with court costs.
The case is being handled by Everett Day & Associates PLLC with attorneys Everett Day (Texas Bar No. 24042230), Helen West (Texas Bar No. 24102305), and Laura Jones (Texas Bar No. 24123689) representing Jennette Addison. The case is filed under Case ID: 2025-23729 in Harris County’s 190th Judicial District Court.
