Woman Sues Over Slots Trip

With all of the problems in the world, it is good to know that our legal system is still working well. Life just isn’t the same without a good lawsuit…

Frances Gum is suing the State Line Market for what she alleges was an unclear step into their slots parlor. Gum was going to the State Market, which is a market and slots parlor – as well as a bar, to play the slots. She stepped down into the slots parlor, but missed a step and fell.

Gum says that the market was aware of the danger, but chose not to do anything about it, and therefore is at fault for her fall. Gum, and her husband Lawrence Philip Gum are claiming that the she is no longer able to have a normal or productive life as she was “grievously injured” during the fall into the slots parlor.

Gum is from Berkeley County and filed the suit in the same country which she resides. Mr. Gum is claiming that he has been “deprived of the society, companionship, consortium, and services” of his wife and is seeking unspecified compensatory damages.

State Line Market is waiting to see what the trial will bring; the case has been assigned to Judge David Sanders. Like I said, good thing the legal system is still working well.
