Huntington, WV (HNN) – A woman who purchased a well known Huntington nightclub has sued its former owner alleging that instead of helping her obtain the liquor license, he allegedly worked to prevent the license issuance eventually causing the new owner to be banned from holding such a state license.
Filed by attorney Douglas Reynolds, MSG Properties , LLC and Catherine Green v. David Richard Widdifield & Bog, LLC. Plaintiff seeks damages exceeding $300,000.
Three men riding in a truck have sued the driver of a vehicle which cross the centerline on Interstate 64 striking the truck and allegedly causing permanent injuries and medical bills of $38,000 for plaintiffs Paul Morrison, Rickie Harshbarger and Jack Zimmeron. Jean Whobrey, Ray Miller and Lewis Harper have been named defendants.
The estate of a man who under went an ileostomy closure in May 2006 at Cabell Huntington Hospital has sued the Hospital and Dr. Douglas W. Henson alleging that the physician failed to issue so-called “standard care” orders for cardiac monitoring and pulse oximetry on his father, Herbert Castle Jr.
The suit filed by Robert Patton alleges the nursing staff failed to properly monitor Castle and as a result he suffered respirator arrest and cardiac arrest, dying May 2, 2006.
The hospital was named in a second suit filed by Marie Miller and Ed Miller alleging that following surgery for placement of a permanent feeding tube a nurse allegedly injected Phenergan into an IV which caused her fingers, thumb and part of her right hand to die and the digits of her hand to be amputated.
James Akers filed the suit.
Finally, a patron of Hooter’s Restaurant has sued claiming that he bit into a hamburger which contained a foreign object. Plaintiff Robert Blankenship allegedly broke his tooth forcing him to undergo root canal and installation of a crown.
Blankenship asks for dental expenses of $1,970 and punitive damages.
