Woman sues church after tripping over traffic cone

A woman who allegedly hurt herself when she tripped and fell on a “small traffic cone” outside a South Side Washington Heights neighborhood church filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the church.

Annie Wilson claims on Feb. 13, 2008, was at Oakdale Covenant Church Academy and Child Care Center at 9404 S. Vincennes Ave. when she “tripped and fell on a small traffic cone” in the walkway, according to a suit filed Wednesday in Cook County Circuit Court.

The suit claims Oakdale, among other things, failed to maintain the parking lot walkway in a level condition and placed a traffic cone in the walkway.

Wilson claims she was injured during the fall and incurred disfigurement, medical bills, loss of normal life and earning capacity and is seeking judgment against Oakdale.
