Steak n' Shake Milkshake Leaves Man Gravely Injured & Disabled: Lawsuit

A diner at the Plainfield Road Steak n’ Shake was gravely injured and permanently disabled when he drank a milkshake contaminated by “foreign matter,” according to a lawsuit filed in Will County court.

The attorney behind the lawsuit, Adam Gilbert, refused to identify the “foreign matter” supposedly ingested by his client.

“You know what, I really don’t have any comment on it right now,” Gilbert said before hanging up the phone.

Whatever the “foreign matter” may be, it left milkshake drinker Doug Hickock “greatly bruised and injured,” the lawsuit said.

The suit went on to claim that Hickock’s “bones, tissues, muscles and ligaments were torn, stained and injured” by the milkshake, and those injuries “will result in permanent disability and disfigurement” and have caused “the loss of his normal enjoyment of life.”

Hickock drank the fateful shake in September 2012, the suit said.
