Rt. 66 Food N Fuel Sued By 2017 Customer

JOLIET, IL - On Feb. 9, 2017, Steve Mudroch visited the Lenny's Route 66 Food N Fuel on South Chicago Street. As a result of that experience, Mudroch contacted a Chicago law firm, Parente & Norem, to file a civil lawsuit against Lenny's Route 66. The new Will County personal injury lawsuit seeks more than $50,000, plus attorneys fees.

In 2017, Mudroch was on the premises of the Joliet business, and he "entered the building through the marked front entrance and was caused to trip/slip and fall due to the condition of the entryway door mat, which was displaced or otherwise was improperly secured or in a condition that allowed it to move as Plaintiff stepped onto it," the lawsuit states.

Mudroch's lawyers argue that Lenny's Route 66 "carelessly and negligently failed to warn patrons, including the plaintiff, that said mat was hazardous."

As for their client, Mudroch "conducted himself exercising ordinary care and caution for his own safety and was free from contributory negligence,"Parente & Norem stated in their lawsuit.

The lawsuit uses boilerplate language to describe the scope of the plaintiff's injuries, indicating "Steve Mudroch suffered injuries, both internally and externally of a permanent and lasting nature, which have caused and will continue to cause pain in body and mind ..."

Will County court records indicate Mudroch lives in the Elwood area.
