A woman is suing over claims that she sustained serious injuries after falling into an open sewer.
Patricia Sowa filed a negligence lawsuit Oct. 25 in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Northwest Shopping Center Supermarket LLC and Dimucci Companies of Cicero Annex LLC.
Sowa alleges that on Aug. 6, 2012, she sustained injuries when she fell into an open sewer at Northwest Shopping Center at 565 E. Dundee Road in Palatine. She claims the defendants were negligent in that they failed to warn about the open sewer, failed to cover the sewer and failed to protect patrons.
