A woman has filed suit against owners of a parking lot where she slipped and fell on a pile of ice and snow. On January 18, Connie Taylor, filed a lawsuit against Jim Smith and O.V. Smith and Sons. According to the suit, Taylor slipped and fell on the ice in the parking lot owned by O.V. Smith and Sons.

The lawsuit states Taylor sustained injuries of a sacrum/coccygeal fracture, right wrist injury and a mil anterior subluxation on her vertebrae. Due to her injuries, she has also had to sustain medical expenses.

The suit claims earlier that day, O.V. Smith and Sons had piled snow and ice up against the sidewalk in a mound so high that the customers were forced to step around the huge pile of ice to get to their vehicles.

The suit claims the company failed to properly clear the lot of ice and snow and it failed to warn the customers of the "large ice blocking the entrance to their vehicles."
