The 9-year-old died in May 2023, two and a half years after hitting his head on a metal cart at a Walmart in Fort Lauderdale, in November of 2020.
The lawsuit accuses Walmart of creating a dangerous and unsafe condition by putting the metal cart in a walkway.

Allen's sister, who was there when it happened, testified Tuesday about her brother's seizures in the years after the incident.
"He would shake a lot and he would look in a different direction, and then he would shake and make noise too," Miharah Allen said. "Every time he ate, he would throw up, he would throw the food up or use the bathroom on himself.”
Walmart attorneys questioned in court Tuesday whether Allen's injury at the store led to his seizures and death.

NBC6 reached out to Walmart for a statement but was waiting to hear back.
The family is seeking damages beyond $30,000.
