St. Clair Village Apartments in Belleville sued by delivery man over icy slip

A man making a delivery says he was hurt when he slipped on an icy sidewalk at the St. Clair Village Apartments.
Richard Siedhoff filed a lawsuit Jan. 25 in Madison County Circuit Court against St. Clair Village Apartments and Heartland St. Clair LLC.

Siedhoff says he was walking to his vehicle after delivering a package to the Belleville apartment complex in February 2011 and was unable to avoid an icy sidewalk. He allegedly slipped, fell and hurt his back and left finger.

Siedhoff accuses St. Clair Village Apartments and its owner of negligence for failing to clear the ice from the walkway. He asks for more than $100,000 in damages for medical expenses, loss of income and costs of the lawsuit.

Attorney Lanny Darr of Alton represents Siedhoff.
