Courtney A, Liefer filed the suit March 31 in St. Clair County Circuit Court against Rolo Skate Inc. and Fun Spot Skating Arena Inc.
The defendant Rolo operates the Fun Spot Skating Center at 1400 West Blvd., Belleville, the suit says, alleging that on Jan. 15, the plaintiff was rollerskating there when she skated over a raised area on the floor, lost her balance, fell and injured her elbow which required surgery.
The suit alleges that, despite its duty to maintain a safe skating surface, the defendant was negligent in doing so. Furthermore, there was no warning of the raised area on the floor, according to the suit.
The plaintiff seeks at least $50,000 for lost wages, continuing medical bills, and pain and suffering, plus court costs. She is represented by Thomas G. Maag of the Maag Law Firm LLC in Wood River.
