ALLEGHENY - The Director of Nursing at the Jewish Association on Aging Weinberg Villages wants payback from PJ Dick Incorporated and Flooring Contractors of Pittsburgh after she says she fell on a loose piece of flooring left at a recently renovated site.
According to documents filed in March in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, plaintiff Deborah A. McDonald was walking in the newly refloored Arbor Unit of the Weinberg Village. The defendants were responsible for the contracting and flooring of the unit, and allegedly left an extra piece of tile on the floor.
McDonald says she slipped on the loose piece of floor, landing on her right side and cracking her head against the floor. She suffered a severe concussion, pinched nerves and muscle spasms, she says.
The defendants are charged with negligence and loss of consortium. McDonald asks for at least $35,000 in damages. She is represented by Lutz Pawk and Black of Butler.
