In a dramatic turn of events, a Pennsylvania resident has filed a lawsuit against a major financial institution, claiming negligence after an unfortunate incident at one of its premises. Alfonzo Pinder, the plaintiff, lodged the complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania on November 4, 2025, targeting TD Bank, N.A. as the defendant.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on January 26, 2024. According to the complaint filed by Pinder’s attorneys from Aivazoglou & Mikropoulos law firm, Pinder was visiting TD Bank’s Chester branch when he sat on a chair that unexpectedly collapsed. This sudden collapse allegedly caused him to fall violently onto the floor and sustain severe injuries. The plaintiff accuses TD Bank of negligence for failing to maintain safe premises and claims that the bank should have known about the dangerous condition of their seating arrangements. “The Defendant knew or should have known of the existence of the aforesaid dangerous, unsafe, and negligent conditions,” states the complaint.
Pinder’s legal team argues that TD Bank had a duty to ensure that their premises were safe for customers like him. They allege multiple failures on part of TD Bank including inadequate inspection and maintenance protocols for their furniture which led to this accident. The complaint lists numerous physical injuries sustained by Pinder such as cervical disc herniations and lumbar bulges among others. Furthermore, it details how these injuries have disrupted his daily life and could potentially affect his earning capacity.
The lawsuit seeks damages exceeding $50,000 from TD Bank along with interest, court costs, attorney fees, and any other relief deemed appropriate by the court. Pinder’s legal representatives argue that due to TD Bank’s negligence in maintaining their property safely for business invitees like him resulted in significant physical harm and financial loss.
Representing Alfonzo Pinder are attorneys George A. Marinelli and Kostas Mikropoulos from Aivazoglou & Mikropoulos based in Eddystone, PA. The case is filed under Docket No., though specific judge assignments are not mentioned in the document provided.
