JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT
David and Arden Peterson are husband and wife and adult residents of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
2. The Defendants, Robert W. Bucher, Jr., and William A. Bohonyi are adult
residents trading and doing business as Flowers Drive Properties. They own real estate located
at 9 and 11 Flowers Drive, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Cumberland Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology, P.C., operates a business
delivering professional gynecological and obstetrics services at 11 Flowers Drive.
4. At all relevant times, Defendants Robert W. Bucher, Jr., and William A, Bohonyi
t/d/b/a Flowers Drive Properties and Defendant Cumberland Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology,
P.C., owned, controlled, occupied, and possessed the offices of Flower Drive Properties and
Cumberland Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology, P.C., as well as the adjacent parking areas, all
located at 11 and 9 Flowers Drive in Mechanicsburg.
5. On or about July 10, 2003, Reverend David Peterson and his wife arrived at the
parking lot of Defendant Cumberland Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology, P.C., for Arden's pre-
natal visit.
6. Arden was at that time nine months pregnant.
Reverend Peterson parked in a marked area with a low-lying concrete tire barrier
at the front edge of the parking space.
8. When he exited his vehicle, Reverend Peterson noticed that the concrete barrier
appeared to be broken and crumbling, and therefore took a wide berth around the front of the car
in order to reach and then open the door for his wife, who was sitting in the passenger's front
seat.
303299
9. As he was walking around the front, one leg convicted and he tripped over a large
piece of bent rebar protruding from the crumbled concrete barrier, which Reverend Peterson had
neither seen nor anticipated.
10. As a result of contacting the rebar he fell, landed on his left-hand side, and hit his
head on the ground, sustaining injuries as described in more detail below.
11. Plaintiffs discovered after this accident that many of the concrete barriers in the
parking lot were in a similar state of poor repair.
12. The rebar over which Reverend Peterson tripped had been in its protruding
position long enough to cause rust stains on the adjacent macadam.
13. As a result of the fall, Reverend Peterson sustained a blow to the head, which
caused bruising to the optic nerve in the left eye, causing permanent partial vision loss. He also
sustained bruises and lacerations to his left knee, pelvic area, and left forearm and elbow.
14. As a direct result of the negligence of the Defendants, Reverend Peterson has
been required to incur medical bills in the past and will incur additional bills in the future, in an
attempt to restore himself to health, and claim is made therefor.
15. As a direct result of the negligence of the Defendants, Reverend Peterson has
suffered loss of earnings and earning capacity in the past and may have some in the future.
303299
16. As a direct result of the negligence of the Defendants, Reverend Peterson has
endured pain and suffering, and will endure additional pain and suffering in the future, and claim
is made therefor.
17. As a direct result of the negligence of the Defendants, Reverend Peterson has
suffered a loss of life's pleasures, and claim is made therefor.
18. As a direct result of the negligence of the Defendants, Reverend Peterson has
suffered humiliation and embarrassment, and claim is made therefor.

19. Plaintiffs hereby incorporate Paragraphs 1 through 18 above as if more fully set
forth in detail.
20. All of Plaintiff David Peterson's damages as enumerated above are the direct and
proximate results of the negligence of Defendants, who at all relevant times owned/possessed
and controlled the aforesaid property, in that they:
(a) Failed to properly maintain the parking lot for the safety of their invitees;
303299 4
(b) Allowed the concrete parking curb to remain in a dangerous and broken
condition, with rebar sticking out, when they knew or should have known of the

(d) Failed to cordon off the parking spaces presenting the hazard which caused
