(Associated Press) A Virginia woman has sued Verizon Wireless for $2.35 million claiming the company caused her to have a heart attack during a customer service call.
The Virginian-Pilot reports 53-year-old Angela Hawkins filed a suit in Chesapeake Wednesday. Hawkins told the newspaper she called Verizon last year to straighten out a billing problem. Representatives accused her of saying she was going to kill everyone and threatened to call police.
Hawkins's attorney says the call was so upsetting she was scared the police were going to arrest her.
