The plaintiff says she was working at the Motomart, when she tripped over a floor mat causing permanent injuries to her right knee.According to the plaintiff, Aramark supplied, delivered, inspected and cleaned Motomart's floor mats. She claims Aramark had previously been notified by customers that its floor mats would curl or become wavy which caused a slip and fall injury hazard. According to the plaintiff, Motomart informed Aramark that it should not deliver defective mats to this store.
"Aramark tested the mats at issue and acknowledged that the curling edge issue was caused by the mats adversely reacting to Aramark's wash formula," said the plaintiff. She claims Aramark was negligent and claims her knee injury has caused her to sustain great pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.
Aramark Uniform Services removed a Madison County civil complaint to federal court in East St. Louis arguing that there is a complete diversity of citizenship between parties.
Aramark denies negligence and argues that the plaintiff's injuries were either caused or contributed to be caused by her own negligence, fault, or assumption of risk.
