Beatrice Sanders filed a complaint on Jan. 8 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against the defendants alleging that they failed to maintain a sidewalk in a reasonably safe condition.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Dec. 17, 2016, she was at St. Alexius Hospital when she slipped and fell due to  water and ice that had accumulated on the sidewalk. She allegedly sustained serious and permanent injury to her right leg that caused her to incur medical expenses of more than $3,000.
