NEW ORLEANS - A Jefferson Parish man is suing a janitorial company for injuries he sustained at work when he slipped on a floor that had just been mopped.

Jimmy Hernandez filed suit on Jan. 20 in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court against Empire Janitorial Sales and Service.

Hernandez claims he was working as an engineer at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans when the defendants cleaned the floor of his workspace.

Hernandez alleges he finished up his work and was leaving the room when he slipped on a liquid the defendants spread on the floor and fell. The plaintiff also claims he was lifting himself from the first fall when he slipped and fell again on the substance and received personal injuries to his shoulders, hands, elbows and back.
