$6.89 Million
Fallen Ceilings Accident

Our client, a 19-year-old nursing student, sustained a back injury after being struck by a ceiling that fell on her while she was cleaning the bathtub.  The ceiling had leaked many times before and the landlord failed to repair it properly.  As a result, she injured her lower back. After multiple therapy visits that failed to help relieve the pain, she underwent lower back surgery.  The student contacted the Law Offices of Nicholas Tzaneteas, and Mr. Tzaneteas took the case to verdict. The jury in Brooklyn found that the landlord was responsible and awarded a total of $6,894,132 in compensation.
