Baltimore woman 'blown off' her own toilet files lawsuit
Quote:
BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- A Baltimore woman says she was injured both physically and emotionally from an exploding toilet.
"She was blown off that toilet that day," says attorney Louis Glick.
The woman is now filing a lawsuit more than a year after the day it happened. Angela Wright says she still suffers psychologically and her home hasn't been repaired.
"I was literally covered in feces. Are you kidding me who wants that?" Wright said.
"She had to clean it up herself," Glick says. "Can you imagine doing that?"
Named in the lawsuit are Baltimore's mayor and City Council along with two city contractors -- Heitkamp Incorporated and Spinello Companies.
"She still has enormous emotional stress and she's still under treatment," Glick says, "for post-traumatic stress disorder."
In 2014 FOX45 was told the city contracted the company Spinello, to use high-pressure hoses to clean out the sewer line in Wright's neighborhood.
She says she was sitting on her toilet when it backed up and she was blown off.
"The Spinello men came in here," she told us that day. "Once they stopped the machines and I showed them I was covered in feces and they were blown away."
