Portsmouth Mayor’s Wife Files Lawsuit
Mary W. Holley, wife of Portsmouth, Virginia mayor James W. Holley III, has filed suit against TowneBank and the bank’s CEO, G. Robert Aston, Jr.
Mary Holley was seriously injured in June, 2007 after Aston backed into her while she was walking across the parking lot of the bank. The lawsuit seeks $3 million in damages.
Holley’s attorney says until this point he has only dealt with insurance carriers, including Aston’s insurance company and the carrier for the bank. But, he continues, offers made by the carriers were insufficient given the extent of Holley’s injuries. Holley, 76, was treated in intensive care for over a week. Her attorney states her medical bills are in excess of $100,000.
Because the accident occurred on bank premises, and because Aston was performing in his position as CEO at the time, the lawsuit was filed against both Aston and the bank.
When an accident occurs on a business premises, and insurance won’t cover the extent of damage and injuries, a premises liability suit can sometimes enable you to acquire the funds you need to pay your medical bills.
