LANCASTER - Tripping over uneven sidewalks led a Lancaster woman to sue La Dolce Vita Courthouse Bakery in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas.

Plaintiff Linda S. Dobbins filed the complaint on April 13. Dobbins says she was walking on the sidewalk in front of the bakery's location at 9 N. Duke St. when she tripped over an uplifted portion of defective sidewalk. 

Dobbins says she suffered serious mouth trauma including a broken tooth, a lip laceration, trauma to her gums and other teeth and other cuts and bruises. 

Tabor Community Services Inc., which is next-door to the bakery at 7 N. Duke St., was also named as a defendant in the suit. 

The defendants are charged with negligence and loss of consortium totaling $100,000 demanded from each defendant. 

Dobbins is represented by Pyfer Reese Straub Gray and Farhat.
