Texas Personal Injury Lawsuit Filed by Retirement Home Worker for Her Personal Injuries
A female employee of a Beaumont, Texas retirement home has filed a personal injury lawsuit against her employer for the injuries that she suffered at work. A story in today’s The Southeast Texas Record details the case of Cornelia Williams, who works at the Clairmont Beaumont retirement home. Williams claims that she was injured on October 5th as a result of the retirement home’s negligence while she was performing her work duties. Williams also alleges in her petition that the retirement home does not carry workers’ compensation insurance.
Specifically, Williams has sued Summit Care Texas, LP, which operates as Clairmont Beaumont. She claims that the defendant caused her injury, which is not detailed in the story, because it did not adequately provide her with the necessary tools, training, safety equipment, and staffing and support to do her job. Williams is seeking a wide variety of damages, including mental anguish, past and future medical expenses, physical pain and disability, and the loss of earning capacity and enjoyment of life.
This Texas personal injury lawsuit was filed in the Jefferson County District Court and has been assigned to Judge Donald Floyd in the 172nd District Court. We’ll keep you updated on any more details and developments with this personal injury case.
