CHARLESTON – A tenant at an apartment complex in Charleston alleges she was injured by a door in her apartment.
Teresa A. Ewing filed a complaint Nov. 16 in Kanawha Circuit Court against A & M Land Co. LLC and Melvin Parsley alleging negligence, breach of contract and other counts.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff was a resident of the Valleywood Apartments and had notified maintenance staff of issues and concerns with the storm door in her apartment multiple times. The suit states on Nov. 21, 2015, her hands, wrists and arms were severely injured when the glass panes of the storm door in her apartment unit broke. She alleges she suffered severe and permanent injuries, emotional distress and permanent scarring.
