On August 19, 2021, Gregg Weinstock obtained a defendant’s verdict for a Long Island Hospital in a premises liability in Supreme Court, Nassau County.   Plaintiff claimed she was caused to fall and suffer injury when she came into contact with a bench at the Hospital entrance.  Allegations included insufficient lighting and improper placement of the bench. The defenses included that the area had appropriate artificial lighting and the bench was installed pursuant to an architect’s plan. The jury unanimously found no negligence on the part of the Hospital in the liability portion of the trial eliminating the need for a damages trial.  Injuries included an ankle fracture requiring open reduction and internal fixation.
