EDWARDSVILLE — A customer is suing a McDonald's management company, alleging she was injured in a fall at the defendant's Pontoon Beach restaurant.

The suit states on Dec. 22, 2017, Kephart was a guest at the McDonald's in Pontoon Beach, which is operated by the defendant. Kephart claims she slipped and fell on a slick or wet surface when the defendant's employees failed to clean up the mess or warn of the dangerous situation.
