Today, a class action complaint was filed in US District Court for the District of Maryland by Joseph Greenwald & Laake attorneys Drew LaFramboise and Brian Markovitz. The case was filed on behalf of class members Erica Bell, Xana Colvin, Carlos Colvin and Kymm Watson who are residents of the Signature Club community in Accokeek, Prince George’s County, Maryland.
The complaint alleges that class members’ homes and properties have sustained significant damage from raw sewage backups and flooding.

The class action alleges that the residents of this community have suffered financial damages and other harms due to the sewage system. The complaint alleges that because of the issues with the sewage system installed in the community, residents have been over-billed for utilities, been assessed fees and costs to repair and maintain the system, have experienced increased insurance premiums, and have suffered a devaluation of their homes and properties.
