A Greensburg woman was playing slots at Live Casino Pittsburgh when an overhead sewage pipe burst, covering her with fecal matter, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Westmoreland County Court.
Rita Romagnoli contracted bacterial pneumonia and was a hospital patient for 15 days, the suit states.
She and husband Robert Romagnoli are suing Stadium Casino Westmoreland, which operates the Hempfield facility, and CBL & Associates Properties, the owner of Westmoreland Mall where the casino is located.
Rita Romagnoli is claiming the pipe burst on July 28 as a result of negligence and that both entities knew of an ongoing dangerous condition, according to the suit. They are seeking $30,000 in damages.
