Janet Ardoin has taken legal action against two property management companies, accusing them of negligence that led to her personal injuries. On April 4, 2025, Janet Ardoin filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, against Ibiza Milwee Apartments, LLC and Palms 1031 Investor, LLC. The case centers around an incident that occurred on June 9, 2023, when Ardoin was injured on the premises managed by these defendants.
According to the complaint, Janet Ardoin was an invitee at the property located at 5310 Milwee, Houston, Texas. On the day of the incident, she alleges that a security gate was left unlocked, allowing her special needs child to run towards a freeway. In her attempt to retrieve her child and return to their apartment safely, Ardoin tripped over broken concrete near the management office and sustained severe injuries including a broken arm. The plaintiff claims that both Ibiza Milwee Apartments and Palms 1031 Investor had control over the premises and failed in their duty to maintain a safe environment for residents and visitors.
Ardoin's lawsuit highlights several accusations against the defendants. She argues that they were aware or should have been aware of the dangerous conditions present on their property but neglected to take appropriate actions to mitigate these risks. Specific allegations include failure to provide adequate lighting, not repairing or warning about the broken concrete and unlocked gate in a timely manner, and neglecting necessary maintenance procedures. These failures are claimed to be breaches of their duty of care owed to Ardoin as an invitee on their property.
The plaintiff is seeking monetary relief exceeding $250,000 but not more than $1 million for damages related to medical expenses (both past and future), physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of earnings capacity, disfigurement, and other related losses. Additionally, Ardoin requests exemplary damages from both defendants due to what she describes as extreme risk behavior with conscious indifference towards safety.
Representing Janet Ardoin is an attorney from Houston-based law firm located at 8323 Southwest Freeway #650. The case has been assigned Case ID No. 2025-23622 in Harris County's District Court under Judge Tanni Williams' jurisdiction.
