A resident of Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit against multiple entities, alleging negligence that led to severe personal injuries. On May 31, 2023, Lyasha Bishop filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County against Catalyst Academy Charter School, Pittsburgh Public Schools, Lemington Real Estate, LP, and Lemington Real Estate GP, LLC.
According to the court documents, Bishop claims that while she was lawfully on the premises located at 7061 Lemington Ave., Pittsburgh, PA, she suffered serious injuries due to a dangerous condition on the property. Specifically, Bishop alleges that the ground collapsed beneath her feet as she walked on a walkway on the property. The complaint details that this incident caused her to suffer a high-grade tear of the deltoid ligament in her left ankle among other injuries.
The plaintiff's attorneys argue that all defendants had a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition but failed to do so. The complaint lists several points of alleged negligence including failure to design, construct, maintain or repair the walkway properly; failure to monitor and inspect for dangerous conditions; and failure to provide adequate warnings about foreseeable defects. “Defendants knew or should have known about the dangerous condition,” states the complaint.
Bishop is seeking judgment in excess of $75,000 from each defendant along with costs and any other relief deemed just by the court. She asserts that as a result of her injuries she has suffered permanent scarring and disfigurement, emotional distress, loss of earnings and earning capacity, and incurred medical expenses.
The case is being handled by Marc I. Simon and his team at Simon & Simon P.C., while no specific judges have been mentioned yet. The case ID remains undisclosed in the provided document.
