A Texas dishwasher has asked an appellate court to reinstate his work injury lawsuit against Dowlen Oaks Retirement Center.
In his work injury lawsuit, plaintiff Gary Stallworth alleges that his skin problems are a result of his employer failing to adequately train him in how to properly wash dishes. The original Texas work injury lawsuit was filed in November of 2007.
Stallworth alleged that he began to experience a skin problem when washing dishes for Dowlen Oaks on November 28, 2005. According to Stallworth, he was told by doctors that his skin condition was caused by the way he was washing dishes.
A year after the lawsuit was filed, proceedings were halted as Dowlen Oaks and Stallworth agreed to enter into arbitration. In July of 2009, Dowlen was granted a no evidence motion for summary judgment by the arbitrator.
As a result of the unfavorable outcome, Stallworth is seeking to enter out of arbitration and get back into civil court.
Stallworth’s suit accuses Dowlen Oaks of negligence. He is seeking damages for lost wages, medical expenses, mental anguish and physical pain as well as compensatory damages.
