Glenn Dolan of Morgan Levine Dolan negotiated a $900,000 settlement for a 57-year-old Queens woman who injured her neck and back, when a portion of her kitchen ceiling collapsed, striking her nose.
The landlord’s attorneys and medical experts argued that the woman, who denied neck and back pain on the date of accident, who sustained no fractures, who had negative CT scan readings, and who returned to work as a home health aid following the incident, had pre-existing, degenerative conditions that were not related to the ceiling collapse.
The landlord’s attorneys and medical experts also argued that the tenant failed to mitigate her damages in refusing to undergo physical therapy as recommended. Nonetheless, our office was able to negotiate this substantial settlement on her behalf.
