MEDIA — A transportation services company is suing Oz Directional Drilling, a contractor, citing alleged negligence.

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority filed a complaint on Dec. 5 in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas against Oz Directional Drilling, alleging the contractor damaged plaintiff's OCS structure.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 4, 2017, SEPTA's employee discovered a demolished OCS structure placed on top of a track, identified as Structure 18/07, located near Milepost 18.3 in Middletown, Delaware County. The plaintiff holds Oz Directional Drilling responsible because the defendant allegedly acknowledged it was the entity that damaged the OCS structure.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages in excess of $50,000 plus interests, costs, attorney's fees and other relief the court may find just and appropriate. They are represented by Thomas Musi Jr. of Musi, Malone & Daubenberger LLP in Media.
