Plaintiff says on Feb. 7, 2022, while undressed and sleeping on top of her sheets, she awoke in her apartment at The Jane at Moore’s Lake to see an employee of Benavides staring at her through a window not normally accessible to people outside because of its height and which was not covered by blinds, and says Brossy/RangeWater had hired defendant without notifying tenants that contractors would have access to the outside of the building. Plaintiff says she complained to Brossy and Chesterfield Police, and was told that the employee had been fired, but on Feb. 9, she again awoke to see the same man staring at her through the window.

Plaintiff says as spouses and 50-50 owners, she and Ryan J. Lerow operated Ryan & Ryan, a real estate company, for several years, and upon their separation and divorce, defendant directly breached his fiduciary duties to the company, usurped corporate opportunities and severely damaged the company’s ability to operate, by drawing down the company’s business account, forming two new entities to compete directly with R&R, and changing the email account of the company to his personal account, converting the R&R name to Lerow’s new entity and removing/severing plaintiff’s online presence and access to R&R team functions in the Multiple Listing Service. Plaintiff says she has lost money as the result of defendant’s actions, and seeks compensatory damages of $350,000, and punitive, $350,000.

Geretha Nolan v. David LeRoux, O.D.; Family Vision Care of Richmond, P.C.; Joseph Iuorno, M.D.; and Commonwealth Eye Care Associates, LLC d/b/a Commonwealth Eye Care Associates
Plaintiff says in January 2022, LeRoux diagnosed cataracts in both eyes and referred her to Iuorno for surgery. Plaintiff says on April 20, defendant performed the surgery on her right eye, and during the course of the procedure, a significant portion of the cataract detached and then dislocated into her vitreous cavity, but defendant made no attempt to retrieve the pieces or inform her of the complication. Her left eye was performed on April 27, without apparent incident, plaintiff says, and she returned to LeRoux for a follow-up about May 12 and complained of discomfort in her right eye, but LeRoux said it was only dry eye and prescribed drops. Plaintiff says she returned five subsequent times over the next months with increasing complaints, but LeRoux and his office then stopped returning her calls. Plaintiff says she went to Virginia Eye Institute on July 24, 2023, where it was discovered Iuorno had left the pieces in her eye, which had caused uveitis and cystoid macular edema, which required surgical removal of the pieces. Plaintiff says she continues to experience issues with her vision that severely impact her depth perception, glare and haziness, and as the result of defendants’ negligence, she has endured several surgeries and complications. Plaintiff asks judgment of $5 million.
