Target is Sued for Illinois Slip and Fall

Loretta Boston is suing Target Corporation for Illinois slip and fall. Boston says that she was injured on May 7, 2009 at the Target store on Troy Road in Edwardsville.

According to her Illinois slip and fall lawsuit, the plaintiff contends that her foot slid on the store carpeting as she was moving to the non-carpeted surface and that this caused her to fall to the floor. Boston claims that she sustained injuries, experienced pain and suffering, incurred medical expenses, and lost her normal life.

She says that Target caused her fall because the store?s carpeting was allowed to stay slick and slippery after cleaning, non-carpeted surfaces were allowed to form moisture on them, customers were not warned about unsafe conditions, and workers were not issued proper cleaning procedures. Boston is seeking over $50,000 for her Illinois slip and fall accident.
