Woman sues over slip and fall at Cermak Produce

A woman who allegedly slipped on water in a Chicago produce store is suing.

Zoraida Ramos filed suit June 10 in Cook County Circuit Court against Cermak Produce Inc.

According to the complaint, Ramos was on premises owned by the defendant at 2701 W. North Ave. in Chicago on June 12, 2012, when she slipped on accumulated liquid and fell.

Ramos accuses the defendant of allowing the floor to remain in a poor condition, failing to warn her of the dangerous condition, post appropriate signage regarding the dangerous condition, make a reasonable inspection of the premises and properly clean the premises to prevent the slipping hazard.

She is seeking damages and is represented by attorneys at Ankin Law Office LLC in Chicago.
