A woman is taking legal action against a major retail corporation following an incident that left her injured. On May 2, 2025, Winifred Curry filed a complaint in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, against Wal-Mart Stores Texas, LLC and Walmart Inc. The case stems from an accident that occurred on May 4, 2023, at a Walmart store located at 10411 North Freeway in Houston, Texas.
According to the complaint, Curry was shopping at the defendants' store when she slipped and fell due to a hazardous condition on the floor. The plaintiff alleges that there were no warning signs or safety measures in place to alert customers of the dangerous condition. As a result of this oversight, Curry claims she sustained personal injuries. She argues that as an invitee on the premises—being a customer who entered with the knowledge and for the mutual benefit of both parties—the defendants owed her a duty to ensure the premises were safe.
Curry's lawsuit accuses Wal-Mart Stores Texas, LLC and Walmart Inc. of negligence for failing to maintain their premises safely and for not adequately warning patrons about potential hazards. The complaint states that the defendants breached their duty by not addressing or remedying the dangerous condition promptly and by failing to train their employees properly to prevent such incidents. Furthermore, it is alleged that this breach directly led to Curry's injuries.
The plaintiff seeks monetary compensation for physical pain and suffering endured both in the past and anticipated in the future. Additionally, she requests damages for emotional distress caused by the incident and reimbursement for medical expenses incurred as a result of her injuries. Curry has limited her claim to $250,000 or less in monetary relief but excludes interest, statutory or punitive damages, penalties, attorney's fees, and costs from this amount.
Representing Winifred Curry are attorneys Kevin Adley and Gilbert Garza from Adley Law Firm LLP based in Houston, Texas. The case is being presided over by Judge Chandra Lawson under Case ID 2025-31279 in Harris County's 334th Judicial District Court.
