HARRISBURG, Pa., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Andreozzi + Foote, representing
Plaintiff J.C., has filed a lawsuit against Pain Relief
Chiropractic, P.C. and Stina's Herbcraft and Massage Therapy. The
lawsuit alleges negligence, gross negligence,
carelessness, and recklessness on the part of the defendants,
resulting in severe physical and emotional harm to the
plaintiff.
The complaint, filed in the Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
details a disturbing series of events beginning with J.C.'s
appointment at Pain Relief Chiropractic, P.C. on May 2, 2022. During the appointment, J.C. was
allegedly drugged and subjected to abuse by
Matthew Perrotta, a massage
therapist whose license had been suspended for over a year.
Perrotta, employed by Pain Relief Chiropractic, P.C., is accused
of using his position to gain access to J.C. and administer a
hallucinogenic drug without her consent. J.C. reportedly woke to
find Perrotta engaging in inappropriate behavior, leading to her
subsequent reporting of the assault to the Lower Allen Police Department.
Veronica Hubbard, Esq., attorney
at Andreozzi + Foote, says, "This case underscores the critical
importance of accountability within the healthcare industry.
Patients trust healthcare providers to prioritize their well-being;
the consequences can be devastating when that trust is violated.
Our firm is committed to seeking justice for J.C. and holding those
accountable for their actions."
Further investigation revealed a history of misconduct by
Perrotta, including multiple violations of professional conduct and
substance abuse. Despite these red flags, the defendants
allegedly failed to take appropriate action to protect
patients like J.C., resulting in further harm.
The lawsuit seeks damages for negligence, gross negligence, and
violation of Pennsylvania's
Massage Therapy Law, among other claims. Plaintiff J.C. is
represented by Nathaniel L. Foote,
Esq., and Veronica Hubbard,
Esq., of Andreozzi + Foote.
