CIVIL FILINGS: Monongalia County

Dec. 30
Doris Znoy vs. Canyon Public Service District, Thrasher Engineering and Rover Construction
PA-Patrick Roche; J-NA
* Znoy is owner of two lots in the Warm Hollow subdivision. One lot is vacant, and she resides on the other lot. In 2008, Canyon installed new sewer lines through the subdivision. Znoy entered into a Right of Way agreement authorizing Canyon to construct and maintain a sewer line system. Prior to her signing the agreement, she had not experienced any problems with water running into either of her two lots. After the sewer line was finished, the lots began experiencing water running over her property and pooling of water on the vacant lot. She requested the problem be fixed, but never was. Znoy is seeking damages of $1,000,000 from Canyon, Thrasher Engineering and Rover Construction along with punitive damages.

Patrick and Sandra Rundle vs. The City of Westover and Westover Shopping Center
PA-Wesley Metheney; J-NA
* Patrick Rundle is the owner of Frank's, a business located in the Westover Shopping Center. In October 2009, a stormwater sewer line burst, causing significant water flow into the parking areas of Westover Shopping Center. In January 2010, Rundle was parked in the common parking area owned by Westover Shopping Center. Due to the continued storm water run off, water ran into the parking lot turning to black ice. As Rundle was walking to his car, he slipped and fell, causing injury to his right femur bone. He is seeking judgment against the City of Westover and Westover Shopping Center for medical and hospital bills of $100,000, permanent injury to his right leg that causes him to limp and use a cane, and pain and suffering.
