Houston, Texas – The Ammons Law Firm, a renowned personal injury law firm, is pleased to announce the successful resolution of a premises liability case on behalf of its client against Fiesta Mart, L.L.C., a prominent supermarket chain. The case, filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, has been settled under confidential terms, with the names of the plaintiff and settlement details remaining undisclosed.
Premises liability cases involving storefront incidents are a serious concern, with over 60 such incidents occurring daily. Tragically, thousands of individuals sustain severe injuries, and approximately 500 lives are lost each year due to unprotected storefronts. These incidents are preventable, often stemming from poor parking lot design and inadequate protection measures.
In this particular case, the plaintiff, whose identity remains confidential, visited a Fiesta Mart located in Houston, Texas. Tragically, a vehicle crashed through the store’s glass entry doors due to the absence of safety bollards. The plaintiff sustained severe injuries and continues to receive medical treatment at a rehabilitative facility.
The Ammons Law Firm alleged that Fiesta Mart, L.L.C., as the possessor and operator of the supermarket, held a duty of care to protect customers from foreseeable harm. The lack of safety bollards and the absence of adequate barriers constituted an unreasonable risk. The defendant’s failure to install protective measures and warn invitees of the unprotected entryway contributed to the plaintiff’s injuries.
The Ammons Law Firm pursued a theory of liability against Fiesta Mart, LLC, alleging negligence in failing to install safety bollards and provide adequate protection for the glass entry doors. The firm argued that these failures breached the defendant’s duty of care to invitees, leading to the plaintiff’s debilitating injuries.
Founder and Lead Attorney Rob Ammons expressed the difficulty and significance of prosecuting these cases, stating, “Storefront incidents are devastating and avoidable. Holding establishments accountable for ensuring the safety of their premises is paramount to protecting pedestrians, customers, and employees. Our firm remains committed to seeking justice and driving awareness to prevent future tragedies.”
By reaching a confidential settlement, the Ammons Law Firm has secured a resolution for its client, addressing the harms and losses suffered due to the incident. The firm remains dedicated to advocating for individuals injured because of premises liability and will continue its mission to promote public safety and accountability.
