Obenchain, represented by attorney Leslie Mark Stovall, is asking for general and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. The lawsuit alleges that the commission knew of a safety study of bus shelters in Clark County before the crash happened and “consciously and intentionally decided not to remove, close or modify” the bus stop. The commission didn’t design the bus shelter to withstand the impact of a car traveling at a reasonable speed and the commission didn’t post signs warning passengers about the dangerous position of the shelter or risk of injury from a collision. The bus stop shelter was 1½ to 3 feet from the roadway, which sees heavy traffic, and was designed without protective barriers, the complaint claims. Obenchain’s civil complaint, filed Monday in federal court, claims the commission violated his 14th Amendment right to due process, which guarantees “freedom from injury due to a danger created by state policy, custom, procedure or practice” and “freedom from injury due to the intentional acts, deliberate indifference and conscious disregard of an individual’s life, safety and well-being by individuals acting under ‘color of state law.’” Nevada Department of Correction Records show she is imprisoned at Florence McClure’s Women’s Correctional Center.
