Elkview woman sues Smith's Foodfair for injuries

CHARLESTON -- An Elkview woman is suing Smith's Foodfair after she claims she and her unborn child were injured on its premises.

O.V. Smith & Sons is doing business as Smith's Foodfair #3, according to the complaint.

On June 15, Tiffany Hively was checking out at Smith's Foodfair when she fell on the wet floor, according to a complaint filed Oct. 21 in Kanawha Circuit Court.

Hively claims she sustained injuries to her leg and hip, and her unborn child sustained injuries because of the fall.
