On 13 Sep 2021, AlleyCat <alleycatsucksdick@trump.org> posted some news:shorcn$4hv$72@news.dns-netz.com: > Greedy capitalist bastards. A woman who lives beside the R.M. Palmer Co. chocolate plant that exploded Friday has filed a lawsuit claiming negligence by the West Reading company led to the blast. Attorneys for Betty Wright filed the suit Monday in Philadelphia County Court. She is seeking punitive damages of at least $50,000. The civil suit, which was prepared for Wright by Philadelphia law firm Morgan & Morgan, asks for a jury trial. Company officials did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment on the suit. The suit states that Wright lives in an apartment at 5 S. Second Ave. That building sits directly north of the chocolate plant that exploded just before 5 p.m. Friday, killing seven and injuring several others. The building where Wright lives is one of three in the area that has been temporarily condemned because of potential structural damage caused by the blast. The suit says Wright was inside her apartment when the explosion occurred, and that she was lifted off her feet by it and thrown across the room. She suffered severe and permanent injuries as well as a loss of property and belongings, the suit claims. “As a result of the aforesaid injuries, the plaintiff sustained physical pain and suffering, all of which have required or will require medical care and treatment,” the suit reads. The suit claims Wright’s injuries have caused her a loss of the everyday pleasures and enjoyments of life, as well as embarrassment, humiliation, scarring and disfigurement. She has also had to incur medical expenses — with the potential for more costs in the future — and the loss of wages, the suit says. The suit places blame for the blast on the company, saying it failed to properly inspect, repair and test the property to prevent the devastating explosion. “The subject incident and the injuries and damages of the plaintiff were the result of the defendant’s negligent and/or reckless management, supervision, hiring and/or training of the employees that conducted the installation, maintenance and/or repairs of the property, including the gas lines and/or valves and/or appliances on or before March 24, 2023,” it reads. The suit also states that the company did not warn Wright that she was living next to a potential explosive hazard. The explosion is the subject of an ongoing investigation, with state police taking the lead in trying to determine the cause and origin of the blast. State police have not released any details of that investigation. <https://www.readingeagle.com/2023/03/28/west-reading-chocolate-factory- explosion-neighbor-files-lawsuit-claiming-company-was-negligent/>
