PITTSBURGH – A Western Pennsylvania landlord counters that a tenant suing it for negligence connected to his fall over a pair of retaining walls in his apartment parking lot, is solely responsible for his own injuries.
Timothy Stroupe first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Jan. 11 versus LeDonne Associates Limited Partnership and P.D. & E Associates, Inc., both of Allison Park.
The suit said the plaintiff was a tenant of defendant at the premises and was entitled to utilize the parking lot. Two of the parking spaces located on the parking lot were held in place by a stone retaining wall. The retaining wall did not have a hand railing or guard despite having two iron pipes on the east side of the retaining wall curb and a single iron pipe in the landscape shrubbery beyond the end of the retaining wall.
