A guest of a Chicago hotel is suing over claims he slipped and fell on ice and snow at the facility on New Year’s Eve.

Meeks, who claims he has suffered and will continue to suffer injuries, is seeking damages in excess of $50,000. He is being represented by attorneys at Susan E. Loggans & Associates P.C.
