West Virginia’s Workers’ Compensation Commission recently filed

Injunctions were filed in Kanawha County Circuit Court against the following:

• Penni Zangari, DBA P & R Trucking, a Nicholas County trucking business, owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $243,343.01;
• MEMCO Inc., a Kanawha County telephone sales business, owes back premiums, interest and penalties totaling $11,304.89;

Workers’ Compensation Commission Executive Director Gregory Burton said the Commission will continue initiating litigation involving delinquent businesses throughout the state to help assure everyone pays their fair share.

The injunctions call for the firms to cease business.
