A slip-and-fall incident at a popular shopping destination has led to a legal battle, as a local resident seeks justice for injuries sustained on the premises. On December 3, 2024, Alicia Altvater filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, against Kohan Retail Investment Group LLC, doing business as The Mall at Robinson.
The lawsuit stems from an incident that occurred on August 8, 2024, when Altvater was visiting The Mall at Robinson. According to the complaint, she slipped and fell due to an accumulation of liquid near the Victoria's Secret and Francesca's stores on the first floor. Altvater claims that this hazardous condition was caused by negligence on the part of Kohan Retail Investment Group LLC. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant failed to maintain safe conditions by allowing liquid from a spilled beverage or cleaning solution to remain on the walkway without adequate warning signs or timely removal.
Altvater accuses Kohan Retail Investment Group LLC of several counts of negligence including failing to inspect and clean the area properly, not posting warnings about the slippery surface, and not adhering to standard maintenance procedures. She asserts that these failures directly resulted in her sustaining multiple injuries such as sprains in her right ankle and left wrist, as well as strains in her neck and back. As per her claims, these injuries have led to severe physical pain and emotional distress, necessitating ongoing medical treatment and impacting her quality of life.
In her pursuit of justice, Altvater is seeking damages within the jurisdictional limits of the Arbitration Division of the court. She demands compensation for medical expenses incurred due to her injuries and for suffering significant pain and discomfort. Her complaint underscores how this incident has affected her daily life and relationships.
Representing Alicia Altvater is attorney Susan A. Meredith from Caroselli Beachler & Coleman LLC. The case is being heard under Judge's supervision in Allegheny County with Case ID is: CVPDD008S271F541.
