She was rushed to the hospital and required surgery to address her injuries. The lawsuit is seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages due to the incident.This case highlights the importance of maintaining safe premises for customers and the potential consequences of negligence on the part of businesses.
