OTTAWA – An Ottawa hairstylist is suing Calypso Water Park after allegedly injuring himself in a wading pool.
According to Metro, Rony Jermani, owner of Rony Jermani Salon and Spa in Greenboro, says he slipped on steps exiting the pool, fracturing and dislocating his ankle on June 22, 2016.
Jermani is suing the water park for $3.2 million, the largest claim sought to date against the company. Jermani tells the paper, the injury still causes him pain and his business is suffering.
He alleges the water park was negligent by failing to install handrails and non-slip surfaces. None of the allegations have been proven in court.
Calypso sent an email statement to Metro, calling the claim grossly excessive.
