Bednar v. Venture Stores, Inc.

The sole question in this appeal is whether the trial court erred in dismissing plaintiffs second amended third-party complaint against this defendant for failure to state a cause of action for implied indemnity.

This action arose out of a personal injury suit filed by Emily Bednar against defendants and third-party plaintiffs, Venture Stores, Inc. (Venture), a division of May Department Stores Co., and May Properties, Inc. (May). In April of 1976, Bednar was departing from a Venture store in Oak Lawn, Illinois, when she slipped and fell on a ramp-like exit and entranceway, sustaining injuries.
