As a result of the fall, our client sustained multiple serious injuries including a fractured knee and torn meniscus which necessitated a total knee replacement. The trip and fall injury left our client with a partial dropped foot. Additionally, she fractured her wrist, which required surgery.
The New York State Appellate Division, First Department recently affirmed a $ 1,170,148 jury verdict against the City of New York that our Managing Partner, Thomas McManus obtained on behalf of a client who tripped and fell on a raised cobblestone located within a tree well in Manhattan.
Following the verdict, the City made a motion to set it aside, which was denied. The City then sought appellate review of the trial judge’s decision. Our partner, Brian Shoot, successfully handled the appeal which resulted in a unanimous decision affirming the prior decision and the verdict.
