An 82-year-old Harris County woman is suing Red Lobster, saying the seafood restaurant got her so drunk she fell and broke her hip and arm in the parking lot.

The suit filed in Harris County Monday says that 113-pound Marlene Spencer had a 0.31 blood alcohol level when she walked out of the Red Lobster on Bay Area Boulevard in Webster on or around March 27.

Spencer, who lives at the nearby Brookdale Senior Living at Clear Lake, fell in the parking lot, breaking her right hip and right arm, and hitting her head on the ground, the suit says.

She was then taken to Clear Lake Regional hospital, where she stayed for six days and underwent a total hip replacement, according to the suit.

It was not the first time Spencer or other residents of the senior living center had been over-served at the restaurant, the suit says. Spencer’s daughter had multiple conversations with the Red Lobster management about over-serving her mother, according to the lawsuit.

“This was an ongoing problem that Ms. Spencer’s daughter tried to quell, but to no avail,” the suit says. “This has been a recurring problem with multiple Brookdale residents.”

A manager at the Webster Red Lobster directed questions about to the chain’s national spokesperson, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night.
