Injury suit against Glenville State set for August | The West Virginia Record

CHARLESTON - A Gilmer County man's lawsuit against Glenville State College for injuries he sustained at a motel the College owns is slated for trial later this summer.

Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster has set Aug. 20 as the trial date in the case of Dale J. Norman v. Glenville State College, et. al. In his suit filed Oct. 4, 2010, Norman, 53, a Glenville resident, alleges he sustained third-degree burns to his feet when he attempted to take a bath two years earlier at the Conrad Motel.

According to the College's Web site, the Glenville State College Housing Corporation, a non-profit arm of the College that aids in helping it acquire and construct property, purchased the 42-room building on July 1, 2008, from Susie Kidd Shipe, and her uncle, Jack Conrad, whose family first started a restaurant in 1926, and expanded their business into the motel three years later. According to the Gilmer County Assessor's Office, GSCHC purchased the motel for $500,000.
