WHEELING – A patron at a Triadelphia restaurant alleges an improperly marked step caused her to fall.
Charlotte Ann Elder filed a complaint on July 5 in the Ohio Circuit Court against Z&S International Cuisine Inc., doing business as Fusion Japanese Steakhouse of Wheeling, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on July 21, 2015, she was having a meal on defendant's Triadelphia property when she fell down a step on the way to the restroom. As a result of the alleged negligence of the defendant, plaintiff claims she sustained injuries and damages including pain and suffering, emotional distress, medical expenses and inconvenience.
