MEDIA — A pedestrian is suing Wells Fargo Co., citing alleged negligence and premises liability.

Tiffany Zalas filed a complaint on Jan. 25 in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas against Wells Fargo Co., alleging the property controller failed to maintain its premises and its sidewalk in a reasonably safe condition.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 1, 2017, she was lawfully walking on the sidewalk at defendant's premises when she fell and twisted her right ankle due to a sudden drop on the sidewalk. 

She allegedly sustained injuries to her head, neck, back, shoulders and knees. The plaintiff holds Wells Fargo Co. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to timely repair the defective and dangerous condition of the sidewalk, failed to provide alternate means of pedestrian travel, and failed to cordon off the area or to provide warning of the existing danger.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of more than $50,000, plus costs. She is represented by Jacqueline Morgan of Lowenthal & Abrams in Bala Cynwyd.
