A Joplin man filed a personal injury lawsuit Monday against RPCS Inc. doing business as King Food Saver in Neosho alleging the company's negligence led to his slipping and falling on ice and suffering injuries.
According to the petition, James Kemper's accident took place January 10, 2025 as he was leaving the store and preparing to load his groceries into his vehicle.
"(H)e slipped on ice that was incompletely cleared, thereby sustaining serious and permanent injuries, including but not limited to his head, neck, back and right hand."Kemper claims to have incurred more than $16,600 in medical expenses thus far and has "concussion syndrome, lumbar sprain, thoracic sprain, cervical sprain, muscle spasms in his spine and decreased sensation and tingling in his right hand."
Kemper, who is represented by Bradley Bishop of Bishop & Hayes, Joplin, is asking for "fair and reasonable damages" and a jury trial.
