Couple sues McDonald's USA and K&B Development over hazardous sidewalk, parking lot

Sandra Andresen and Wayne Andresen filed a personal-injury complaint on March 2, 2026 in St. Lawrence County (New York Supreme Court), naming McDonald’s USA, LLC and K&B Development of Canton, Inc. as defendants and alleging the restaurant’s parking lot and sidewalk were hazardous.

The complaint lists McDonald’s USA, LLC as a corporate defendant and identifies K&B Development of Canton, Inc. as the local operator of the restaurant named in the suit. By bringing both a national corporate entity and a Canton-based operator into the same complaint, the plaintiffs have framed their case against two distinct business actors tied to the same site.

According to the filing, the hazardous conditions were located in the restaurant’s parking lot and on the adjacent sidewalk. The plaintiffs characterize those exterior areas as the source of the personal-injury claims that launched the March 2 action in St. Lawrence County Supreme Court.

The case was filed in St. Lawrence County’s New York Supreme Court, the trial-level court that handles civil actions in the county. Filing the complaint there places the dispute within the local judicial calendar and requires the defendants — McDonald’s USA, LLC and K&B Development of Canton, Inc. — to respond under New York civil procedure to the plaintiffs’ assertions about the parking lot and sidewalk conditions.

The March 2 filing begins formal litigation over the alleged hazard at the restaurant property and names the specific corporate and operator entities that the Andresens hold responsible. With a corporate defendant headquartered outside the county and a Canton operator identified by name, the suit highlights the overlapping responsibilities the plaintiffs have targeted in their personal-injury complaint.

As of March 3, 2026 the complaint is the public opening salvo in the dispute; the filing itself contains the allegations that the parking lot and sidewalk were hazardous and identifies Sandra Andresen and Wayne Andresen as plaintiffs pursuing relief in St. Lawrence County Supreme Court against McDonald’s USA, LLC and K&B Development of Canton, Inc.
