Family widens lawsuit over grate that hit car

April 10, 2009

The family of a man permanently disabled when an iron storm grate dislodged and crashed through his windshield in 2007 has expanded a lawsuit to include companies that allegedly sold or manufactured equipment that was not intended to be used on state highways.

 

The amended lawsuit, filed in Suffolk Superior Court, alleges that E.J. Prescott of Middleton sold risers to a state highway contractor, SPS New England, knowing that they were unfit for use on a highway project.

 

E.J. Prescott then failed to warn SPS that the risers were not meant to be used to elevate catch basin grates to the height of the highway surface in spots where they would be exposed to repeated impact by traffic, the suit contends. The suit also names the manufacturer of the risers, Quality Water Products of South Barre, as a third-party defendant.
