A Joplin man filed a personal injury lawsuit Monday against RPCS Inc. doing business as King Food Saver in Neosho alleging the company's negligence led to his slipping and falling on ice and suffering injuries.
According to the petition, James Kemper's accident took place January 10, 2025 as he was leaving the store and preparing to load his groceries into his vehicle.
"(H)e slipped on ice that was incompletely cleared, thereby sustaining serious and permanent injuries, including but not limited to his head, neck, back and right hand."Kemper claims to have incurred more than $16,600 in medical expenses thus far and has "concussion syndrome, lumbar sprain, thoracic sprain, cervical sprain, muscle spasms in his spine and decreased sensation and tingling in his right hand."
Kemper, who is represented by Bradley Bishop of Bishop & Hayes, Joplin, is asking for "fair and reasonable damages" and a jury trial.
Be clumsy.........and win the lottery.
ReplyDeleteIce is slick and you can slip on it. Where is the responsibility of the person who slipped. He could have just stayed home and not took the risk. How many time has he fell on his own property? Wonder if he would be litigating with his homeowners insurance? These ambulance chasing attorneys are ruining our country.
ReplyDeleteThis happened to me in cj at dollar general I have been fighting them since Feb 2025
ReplyDeleteDid you know there was inclement weather? What precautions did you take to stay safe while getting out in inclement weather? Was your driveway and sidewalk completely cleared to you high standards?
ReplyDeleteBusinesses are held to different standards than houses.
ReplyDeleteThat's why there are commercial building codes, regular fire inspections of commercial and offices.
It's also why restaurants are licensed and inspected for food safety issues. To see if there are problems like dead flies frozen in the ice used for drinks or bathrooms without soap or towels to wash and dry your hands with.
