EDWARDSVILLE A woman claims Walmart and a fencing company placed unsafe barriers on the sidewalk outside of a store in Wood River, causing her to trip and suffer injuries.
Helen Forgy-Sawyer filed a complaint Feb. 3 in the Madison County Circuit Court against Walmart Inc., Glenn Masterson and National Rent-A-Fence, alleging negligence.
The plaintiff claims in her suit that she was at the Walmart located on Wesley Drive in Wood River on May 28, 2020. She alleges that there was a barrier with legs sticking upward on the sidewalk which caused her to trip and fall. As a result, she claims she suffered injuries to her face, finger and side, including bruising and cuts.
