According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Nov. 25, 2016, she was an invitee at defendant's business. While leaving the premises, the suit states she tripped and fell due to poorly maintained steps. She alleges she sustained injuries resulting in pain and suffering, medical expenses, mental anguish and lost income.
