CHICAGO — An estate representative is suing BMO Harris Bank N.A., BMO Financial Corp. and 101 BRP LLC for allegedly taking insufficient measures to prevent injuries.

Dyanne M. Branand, independent executor of the estate of Lorraine H. Brandt, filed a complaint on Nov. 30 in Cook County Circuit Court,  alleging Brandt sustained serious physical injuries on Dec. 4, 2015, when she allegedly tripped and fell over a carpet mat on the floor that was turned up and not lying flat. The plaintiff holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to tape down the carpet mat on the floor and adequately warn Brandt about the hazardous condition of the floor.

The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount greater than $50,000 plus court costs. She is represented by attorney Edmund J. Scanlan in Chicago.
