WHEELING — A Pennsylvania motorist is suing a flooring company and tractor-trailer operators, alleging negligence caused a crash that injured the plaintiff.

Seneca Wendt of Washington, Pennsylvania, filed a complaint in Ohio Circuit Court against Ohio Valley Flooring Inc. and Ralph E. Current, alleging Current failed to exercise due care in operating the vehicle owned by Ohio Valley Flooring when he drove the vehicle too fast.

According to the complaint, on March 2, 2017, Wendt was injured in a motor vehicle collision when the defendants' tractor-trailer struck the rear of her vehicle on Interstate Highway 70 near mile post 6.50. Wendt says she sustained injuries to her neck, back, left hip and left shoulder. 

The plaintiff alleges Ohio Valley Flooring and Current responsible because Current negligently drove the Ohio Valley Flooring tractor-trailer at a high rate of speed and allowed it to crash into the rear of Wendt's vehicle.

Wendt seeks trial by jury, compensatory and general damages, with interest, costs, attorney fees and all other proper relief. She is represented by attorneys Scott S. Blass and John E. Artimez Jr. of Bordas & Bordas PLLC in Wheeling.

Ohio Circuit Court case number 18-C-227
