In a compelling legal case filed in Harris County, Texas, an individual alleges negligence on the part of two business entities following a slip-and-fall incident. The plaintiff, Shavondra Dearmon, lodged her complaint against Midtown Entertainment Group LLC and HY Travis, LLC on April 30, 2025. The lawsuit accuses these entities of failing to maintain safe premises at Koya Houston, leading to serious injuries for Dearmon.
According to the details of the case, Shavondra Dearmon was injured on May 25, 2024, while visiting Koya Houston located at 2600 Travis St., Houston. As she made her way toward the women's restroom, she slipped on a slippery substance that had not been marked with any warning signs. The complaint argues that this oversight by the defendants constitutes negligence and a breach of their duty to ensure safety for their patrons. "Defendants’ agents and/or employees were proximately close to the dangerous condition for an adequate period of time," states the petition, emphasizing that they should have known about the hazard.
Dearmon's petition further outlines how both defendants—Midtown Entertainment Group LLC and HY Travis, LLC—failed in their responsibilities as owners or possessors of the premises. They allegedly did not inspect or correct the hazardous condition nor provide adequate warnings to invitees like Dearmon. This lack of action is described as posing "an unreasonable risk of injury" due to its potential to cause slips and falls.
The plaintiff seeks monetary relief within the jurisdictional limits set by Texas law. Her claims include compensation for past and future medical expenses, physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, lost wages, court costs, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. Additionally, she demands a jury trial to resolve these issues.
Representing Shavondra Dearmon is attorney Rochelle Guiton from Brian White & Associates based in Houston. The case has been assigned Case ID 2025-30493 under Judge Monica Jackson in Harris County's 152nd District Court.
