pennlive.com – A Pennsylvania woman has filed a lawsuit claiming that a sewage pipe burst while she was playing slots at a casino, drenching her in fecal matter and putting her in the hospital for over two weeks.
Rita Romagnoli and her husband, Robert, of Greensburg say in a civil suit filed that they were at Live! Casino when she was “drenched with human fecal matter” after an overhead pipe burst.
Romagnoli went home, took a shower and returned to the casino, according to her attorney Joseph Hudock Jr.
“She didn’t know what had happened,” Hudock told the Trib. “A couple days later, she ended up in the hospital with bacterial pneumonia.”
The lawsuit states that Romagnoli spent 15 days in the hospital because of the casino’s negligence.
Hudock could not address his client’s long-term health prospects with the Trib, but claimed it was a “very traumatizing” situation that could have killed Romagnoli.
The couple are demanding $30,000 in damages …
