Cuban musician Jon Secada has been hit with a lawsuit from a maid who allegedly landed in hospital after tripping over a rug at his home.

The Grammy Award winner's unnamed employee claims she has been left disfigured and in mental anguish after the recent accident at his Miami, Florida property.

Secada reportedly tried to make amends for the incident by covering her medical bills and giving her a week off work with full pay, according to Tmz.com.
