Man Allegedly Struck By Falling Air Conditioner

CHICAGO (STMW) - Man allegedly struck by falling air conditioner

A man filed suit Friday claiming he was hit by an air conditioning unit that fell from the second floor window of a west suburban building.

Rolando Martinez claims that he was walking June 25, 2009 outside of a building at 1600 N. 1st Ave in Melrose Park when he was struck by an air conditioning unit that fell from a second floor window, according to a suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.

The suit claims Martinez sustained serious bodily injury, incurred medical expenses, experienced pain and suffering, and loss earnings.

The two-count suit seeks more than $80,000 in damages against the owners of the building, Rafael and Reyna Lopez.
