According to a press release from Morris, Downing and Sherred, the victim slipped on an untreated patch of ice near a storm drain in an unlit area of the restaurant's parking lot. He suffered shoulder and spine injuries in the fall, and consequently had to pay over $250,000 in medical fees out-of-pocket to treat his injuries.
