New Lenox Man Sues P.T. Ferro For 'Dangerous Condition'

NEW LENOX, IL - Next week marks two years since Robert Seeman, a resident in New Lenox, went on a walk in the Cherry Hill subdivision along Joela Drive. As a result of that activity on Halloween 2016, Seeman has hired the Chicago law firm of Nolan and Nolan to sue P.T. Ferro Construction, a long-time construction company here in Will County. It's a personal injury case.

"This plaintiff prays for judgment in its favor and against the defendant in an amount in excess of $50,000," states attorney Robert Emmett Nolan as part of his new client's civil lawsuit at Will County's Courthouse.

Here are the key allegations raised in the lawsuit that faults P.T. Ferro for causing Seeman's injuries on Oct. 31, 2016 in the Cherry Hill Subdivision:

"P.T. Ferro Construction was doing construction work in and around an area that it knew or should have known would be used by the public in walking in and around Joela Drive ... the plaintiff was walking on Joela Drive when he came to the area where the defendant had created the dangerous conditions.

"That as a direct and proximate cause of the negligent and careless acts or omissions committed by the defendant the plaintiff lost his balance and fell," Nolan and Nolan informed the court.

Seeman, his lawyers state, "suffered severe and extensive permanent injury, both externally and internally ... and the plaintiff has and will in the future incur medical expenses."
