BECKLEY – A Raleigh County woman says she was struck by a pipe while leaving her apartment, an accident allegedly caused by negligent maintenance workers.
Nashala Ann Sydenstricker filed a lawsuit May 23 in Raleigh Circuit Court against Maxwell & Keyser Inc., Tamayo Realty LLC, Tony Campagna and Terry Bragg, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, Tamayo Realty hired Maxwell & Keyser to make plumbing repairs on its Virginia Street building in September of 2014. The suit says that on Sept. 9, 2014, as Sydenstricker entered a stairwell, she was struck by a pipe falling from the repair area.
