Monica Gissel Monsivais De Leon has taken legal action against a major retail corporation following an alleged injury at one of its stores. The complaint was filed by Monsivais De Leon in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, on November 7, 2025, naming Walmart Stores Texas, LLC as the defendant. This lawsuit highlights significant concerns about safety and negligence in commercial spaces.

According to the court documents, on April 10, 2025, Monica Gissel Monsivais De Leon visited a Walmart store located at 1107 Shaver St., Pasadena, Texas. While entering the store and carrying her child’s car seat, she slipped on a liquid substance on the floor that had not been marked with any warning signs or barriers. The fall resulted in personal injuries for which she is seeking damages. Monsivais De Leon asserts that Walmart was aware or should have been aware of this hazardous condition but failed to take appropriate measures to warn customers or rectify the situation. She accuses Walmart of negligence for not maintaining safe premises and failing to inspect and address potential dangers adequately.

The plaintiff’s legal filing outlines several causes of action against Walmart Stores Texas, LLC. These include premises liability and negligence due to failure to maintain safe conditions within their property. The document states that “Defendant knew or should have known an unreasonably dangerous condition existed” yet did not take necessary actions to prevent harm. Furthermore, it argues that Walmart’s negligent maintenance and lack of proper warning led directly to Monsivais De Leon’s injuries.

Monsivais De Leon seeks monetary relief exceeding $1 million for medical expenses incurred due to her injuries and anticipates further costs for ongoing treatment. Additionally, she claims damages for physical pain and suffering both past and future, physical impairment, loss of earnings capacity, loss of consortium with her family members, disfigurement, mental anguish, fear of future disease or condition, and costs related to medical monitoring.

Representing Monica Gissel Monsivais De Leon is attorney Kristin Suniga from the Law Offices of Marcos & Associates P.C., based in Houston. The case has been assigned Case ID 2025-85320 in the 190th Judicial District Court under Judge Patricia Jones’ jurisdiction.
