LANCASTER – A New Jersey woman claims she was injured in a Lancaster inn, when the mirror which was hanging up in her hotel room fell from the wall and landed on her.
Debra Sullivan of Delanco, N.J., filed suit in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 19 versus Sleep Tight, Inc. (doing business as “The Inn At Leola Village”) of Lancaster, John Calabrese of Naples, Fla. and Deborah Shirk of Ceola.
“On March 18, 2021, plaintiff was an invitee, licensee and/or otherwise legally on defendant’s premises, when, as a result of the negligence and/or carelessness of the defendants, the plaintiff was struck by a mirror that fell from the wall in her hotel room. As a result of this accident, the plaintiff suffered severe and permanent bodily injuries as more fully set forth at length below,” the suit said.
The suit adds that defendants’ failure to inspect, maintain or repair this defect was the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.
“As a direct result of the negligent and/or careless conduct of defendants, the plaintiff suffered various serious and permanent personal injuries, serious impairment of bodily function and/or permanent serious disfigurement and/or aggravation of pre-existing conditions, including but not limited to: Right knee tear, multi-level cervical disc bulges, cervical radiculopathy, sprain and strain of the entire spine, right shoulder, right arm, right wrist and right elbow, and any other ills and injuries, all to plaintiff’s great loss and detriment, ” the suit states.
For three counts of negligence, the plaintiff is seeking judgment and damages not in excess of $50,000, plus all reasonable costs and any other relief the Court deems necessary.
The plaintiff is represented by Marc F. Greenfield of Spear Greenfield Richman Weitz & Taggart, in Philadelphia.
The defendants are represented by Joshua J. Bovender of Thomas Thomas & Hafer, in Camp Hill.
