Arlene Young has filed a compelling lawsuit against a business entity operating under the name "Not Just Wings" following a severe injury she sustained on their premises. On February 27, 2025, Young lodged her complaint in the Court of Common Pleas in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, targeting Efstatjios Rafailidis and other associated parties as defendants. The lawsuit centers around an incident that occurred on January 8, 2024, when Young tripped over a raised mat outside the restaurant's entrance, resulting in significant injuries.
According to the complaint filed by Arlene Young, she was legally present at the "Not Just Wings" location on South MacDade Boulevard in Glenolden, Pennsylvania when the accident happened. The defendants named in the suit include Efstatjios Rafailidis, Odyssefs Akranis, and Bernraf Inc., all doing business as "Not Just Wings." Young alleges that these parties were responsible for maintaining a safe environment on their premises but failed to do so. She accuses them of negligence for not properly designing, constructing, maintaining, or repairing the premises and for failing to warn patrons about potential hazards such as the raised mat that caused her fall.
The legal document meticulously outlines various allegations against the defendants. It claims they neglected their duty by not inspecting or cleaning the premises adequately and failing to provide warnings about foreseeable dangers. The complaint further asserts that this negligence led to Young suffering severe bodily injuries affecting her neck and left shoulder among other areas. Additionally, it mentions emotional distress and financial losses due to medical expenses and diminished earning capacity resulting from her injuries.
Young's attorney, Marc F. Greenfield of Spear, Greenfield, Richman, Weitz & Taggart P.C., argues that these failures violated building codes and regulations meant to ensure public safety. As such, Young is seeking damages not exceeding $50,000 along with any additional relief deemed necessary by the court. This amount is intended to cover medical costs already incurred and those anticipated in the future due to ongoing treatment needs.
In response to this personal injury claim rooted in premises liability law principles—specifically regarding negligence—the defendants are required to respond within twenty days of being served with notice of this action. Should they fail to do so without adequate defense or objection presented before then; judgment may be entered against them automatically according to procedural rules governing civil litigation matters like these.
The case is presided over by Judge(s) yet unnamed at this stage while Attorney Marc F. Greenfield represents Arlene Young’s interests throughout proceedings identified under Case ID: CV2025001735.
