GREENSBURG, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n
A man has filed a lawsuit against a Westmoreland County restaurant after he said he reinjured his back after slipping on a suspected cheese slick. <\/p>\n
VIDEO: Top stories on Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 <\/p>\n
Our news partners at the Trib reported that the lawsuit was filed this week against the owners of Olives & Peppers, located at the Greensburg train station. <\/p>\n
Allen Uhler said the owners of the establishment were negligent for allowing the conditions that led to a slip and fall outside on Dec. 27. <\/p>\n
According to court documents obtained by the Trib, Uhler said he suspected a \u201cwhite, slimy, slippery, cheese-like or food-related substance\u201d on the ground caused him to fall outside the restaurant. <\/p>\n
He said the incident left him in a \u201chelpless position on the ground with both knees and top tips of sneakers touching the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lawsuit alleges restaurant staff cleaned up the substance after Uhler first complained and failed to acknowledge it was the cause of the fall. <\/p>\n
Uhler stated in the lawsuit obtained by our news partners that the incident occurred nearly three months after he had surgery to repair a cervical injury. <\/p>\n
He said in the lawsuit that the fall outside Olives & Peppers has left him with worsening symptoms. <\/p>\n
The lawsuit continued, saying Uhler claimed that after he and his wife were seated in the restaurant, he walked back outside to take pictures of the suspected ricotta-like substance. He said in court papers that he then found staff flooding the area with soap and water to remove evidence of the alleged cheese slick. <\/p>\n
The lawsuit contends Uhler preserved the foreign substance that remained on his pants and shoes following the fall.<\/p>\n
It is unclear what amount Uhler is seeking in damages from the establishment. <\/p>\n
