GALVESTON — A deliveryman is suing Eighteen
Seventy Strand Corp., which does business as the Hotel Galvez, alleging he was
severely injured after stepping in a bucket of acid
on the premises.
Jason Velez Roman filed a complaint on March 6 in the Galveston
County District Court against Eighteen Seventy Strand Corp., alleging that the
property owner failed to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition
and free of hazards.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff was delivering
goods to the defendant's property, at 2024 Seawall Blvd. in Galveston, on July
30, 2015, when he stepped on a bucket that contained acid. The bucket broke as
his foot went through the bucket, the complaint said. He sustained severe
injuries and damages, medical expenses, loss of earning capacity, pain and
suffering and mental anguish. The plaintiff holds Eighteen Seventy Strand Corp.
responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to correct the unreasonably
dangerous condition.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks monetary
relief of more than $1 million and for such further relief to which he may be
entitled. He is represented by Jorge L. Gomez of the Gomez Law Firm in Houston.
