A Cabell County man is suing Burger King fast food after he was hurt while visiting the establishment. Michael S. Stevens is suing Burger King, after slipping and falling in the men's restroom.

On September 11, 2005, Stevens, went in the restroom and crossed the floor to the sink when he slipped and fell on the floor. He reached with his arms to try and break his fall but struck his shoulder into the wall. Stevens sustained an acromioclavicular separation of the right shoulder, radicular low back pain and other injuries to his body in general.

"The tile is smooth, and is without a non-slip surface," states the lawsuit. The area did not have a "Caution Wet Floor" sign displayed at the time of the incident.

The suit was file on January 11th and states Burger King neglected the safety of the public due to lack of a non-slip surface. Stevens seeks coverage of past medical bills that total more than $11,600, future medical bills and compensatory and punitive damages. Stevens has demanded a trial by jury.
