“…As he prepared for bed, he sat down in a chair to remove his boots…the chair collapsed under plaintiff causing him injury, the suit states. The 
defective chair presented a latent, unreasonably dangerous condition…(the plaintiff)Â injured his left forearm, ribs and back when the chair collapsed, for which he seeks damages within the jurisdictional limits of the court…”
While staying at a Comfort Inn in Orange, Allen Doverspike, an Oklahoma resident, sat in a chair and began to take his boots off when the chair collapsed. Seeking less than $1 million for his injuries, Doverspike filed suit against Hospitality Operations on Aug. 5 in Jefferson County District Court.
According to the lawsuit, on Jan. 30 Doverspike checked into the Orange Comfort Inn.
The suit asserts the defendant should have repaired or replaced the chair.
