EDWARDSVILLE - A Cahokia Heights woman claims she was injured when she slipped and fell at the Argosy Casino in Alton.
Johnitta McCall filed the lawsuit in the Madison County Circuit Court against Alton Casino, doing business as Argosy Casino in Alton.
According to the complaint, McCall was on her way to the restroom at the casino on Nov. 8, 2020, when she allegedly "slipped and fell on wet slippery tile." She claims that as she tried to stand up, she slipped again.
