54th Street Bar and Grill sued over woman's slip at Edwardsville restaurant

A Macon County woman alleges she was seriously hurt when she slipped and fell at an Edwardsville restaurant.

Loretta Boston filed a lawsuit Sept. 19 in Madison County Circuit Court against Kellan Restaurant Management Corp., doing business as 54th Street Bar & Grill.

Boston says she was injured while visiting the 54th Street Bar & Grill on Sept. 24, 2012. According to the complaint, she was walking to the restroom in the areas of the server's station when she "slipped due to a liquid substance on the floor that caused her to fall and be injured."

Boston accuses the defendant of negligence for allegedly failing to keep patrons safe. She seeks more than $50,000 for medical expenses, pain and suffering.

Attorney John N. Cannon of McCarthy, Rowden & Baker in Decatur represents Boston.

Madison County Circuit Court case number: 14-L-1295.
