Karen and Kevin Grouwinkel filed a lawsuit Jan. 5 in Cook County Circuit Court against JBC Funds Triangle Plaza, Equity Commonwealth Management, Reit Management & Research and Triangle Plaza of Chicago, citing negligence.
According to the complaint, on April 8, 2013, Karen Grouwinkel fell on an uneven tile while on the premises of Triangle Plaza at 8770 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.
