The Houston Space Center finds itself in the middle of a slip and fall lawsuit this month. The plaintiff, Senny Oommen, claims that he slipped and fell on a wet floor when visiting the museum. The lawsuit was filed in the Harris County District Court on December 17 by attorneys L. Lee Thweatt of Terry and Thweatt P.C.

The accident occurred on December 20, 2008 when Oommen claims that there was a wet spot on the floor near the area where you can take souvenir photos that the museum was negligent in cleaning up. As a result he fractured his tibia and wound up losing his job as a result of being unable to perform his duties there.

He is now seeking damages that include mental anguish and physical pain, physical disfigurement, physical impairment, loss of earning capacity, medical expenses, and other damages.

A long court case in New Orleans has finally come to an end this week at the hands of Orleans Parish Civil District Chief Judge Lloyd Medley. The five-year-old slip and fall case was closed after the city of New Orleans pushed for a motion for summary judgment. It originated with the complaint of resident Merkel Marshall who claimed that a crack in the Palmetto Bridge caused him to fall and hit his head. The cause was negligence on the part of the city to maintain the bridge properly.

The original petition for damages was filed in November 2005 by River Ridge attorney Jeanne Demarest; Bart Kelly and Roderick Alvendia would later come on to represent Marshall as well.

In 2008 the city filed a motion for summary stating that it "did not have notice, either constructive or actual, of the alleged defective steps at the Palmetto Footbridge" before the accident occurred, thus making it protected by La. R.S. 9:2800.

When the city attempted to continue the case, the plaintiff, Marshall, had to be located by the city through an investigation service.

Her lawsuit states that, "the Plaintiff was moving from the carpeted to the non-carpeted surface, her foot slid on the carpeting and onto the adjacent area, causing Plaintiff to fall to the floor."  Boston asserts that because of the accident and her injuries, she has experienced continual pain and suffering.  She also says that she has incurred medical bills and lost her normal quality of life.

Boston blames Target for causing her slip and fall accident.  She said that the store and its employees should not have allowed the carpeting to remain slick and slipper after cleaning.  Boston also says that the store failed to warn customers of the dangerous condition. 

She is currently seeking $50,000 in damages.
