Woman Sues Sears After She Slips On Vomit

A woman sued Sears today for injuries she alleges occurred when she slipped and fell on vomit while in the television department.

According to the complaint, on July 11, 2009, plaintiff Glinda Bridgeman was a customer at the Sears Department Store on West 95th Street when she slipped and fell "due to vomit and paper towels that were placed on the floor by an authorized agent and employee of defendant."

The complaint further asserts that Sears was negligent when it, among other things, "failed to warn customers of the presence of the vomit and paper towels on the floor," and "failed to clean the vomit and paper towels after it knew or should have known that the vomit and paper towels presented a danger to its customers."
