A Pennsylvania resident has filed a lawsuit against a property management company, claiming negligence after sustaining severe injuries from slipping on an icy sidewalk. Michael Orsino initiated the complaint in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas on December 10, 2025, targeting PENCO Management, Inc., and unnamed defendants referred to as John Does 1-10.
The case revolves around an incident that occurred on December 27, 2024, when Orsino was walking his dog near his residence at 1004 Mews Drive in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. The plaintiff alleges that he slipped on ice due to the negligent maintenance of the sidewalk by PENCO Management, Inc., which managed the property. As a result of this fall, Orsino claims to have suffered significant injuries including a concussion, traumatic brain injury, cervical radiculopathy, impaired mobility, and emotional distress such as anxiety and depression. The complaint highlights that these injuries have led to disruptions in his daily life and work activities.
Orsino accuses PENCO Management of failing to uphold their duty to maintain safe premises by not adequately addressing hazardous conditions like snow and ice accumulation. The lawsuit details various alleged failures by the defendant: neglecting to monitor and treat icy conditions, not providing adequate warnings about potential hazards, and failing to block off dangerous areas until they were made safe. Furthermore, it is claimed that PENCO had prior knowledge of recurring icing issues but did not take necessary remedial actions or warn residents.
In seeking justice for his injuries and losses attributed directly to what he describes as “negligence” and “carelessness” by PENCO Management and potentially other unknown parties (John Does 1-10), Orsino demands compensatory damages exceeding $50,000. This amount is intended to cover medical expenses incurred from treating his injuries as well as anticipated future costs. Additionally, he seeks compensation for physical pain and suffering along with emotional distress caused by the incident.
Representing Michael Orsino is attorney Keith V. Bauerle from Morgan & Morgan Philadelphia PLLC. The legal action emphasizes that Orsino’s damages were solely due to the defendants’ conduct without any contributory negligence on his part. The court filing stresses that unless addressed legally through this suit, Orsino will continue facing financial burdens due to ongoing treatment needs stemming from the accident.
This case underscores broader issues regarding property management responsibilities towards ensuring safety for residents against foreseeable risks such as icy sidewalks during winter months—a concern particularly relevant given seasonal weather patterns affecting Pennsylvania communities.
