Katherine and Jeffrey Savage vs. Robert L. Mills Jr. and Jendoco Construction
PA-Brent VanDeysen; J-NA
* Katherine Savage was walking across a crosswalk intersection where Jendoco Construction was working as a contractor for West Virginia University. Jendoco's flagman signaled for Savage to proceed through the crosswalk where she was struck by a vehicle driven by Mills. Savage alleges the flagman did not have a clear view of the crosswalk and Mills proceeded through the crosswalk intersection without looking to see if any pedestrians were in the crosswalk. Savage was thrown into the air and landed forcefully on the ground sustaining serious injuries. The Savages seek judgment for injuries, medical expenses, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, costs and attorney fees.
