A man is suing over claims that wet floors at a restaurant caused a slip and fall accident.
Johnny L. Barginear Sr. filed a negligence lawsuit Oct. 18 in the Circuit Court of Cook County against McDonald's Restaurants of Illinois Inc.
The plaintiff alleges that he sustained serious injuries on Oct. 26, 2011, when he fell on a wet floor at McDonald's at 1664 S. Blue Island Ave., in Chicago.
