CHARLESTON — A Canadian couple is suing Comfort Suites, alleging the defendant's negligence led to injuries for the wife.
Suzanne Brenner and Brian Brenner of Ontario filed a lawsuit Aug. 24 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia against Gateway Hospitality Parkersburg LLC, doing business as Comfort Suites - Parkersburg, alleging, breach of duty in failing to care to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe condition.
According to the complaint, on Dec. 1, 2014, Suzanne Brenner and Brian Brenner checked in at the hotel in Parkersburg. Suzanne Brenner, the suit says, went into the bathroom to take a shower when she slipped and fell hard onto her back and bottom.

They are represented by attorneys Brian J. Headley of Headley Law LLC in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and by Bruce M. White of The Law Offices of Bruce M. White LLC in Parkersburg.
