$145,000 Settlement for Hand Laceration in Restaurant

$145,000 awarded to an advertising executive for a laceration to his non-dominant hand that caused tendon damage and required surgery. The man was taking a work break and dining out with co-workers at a New York City restaurant in the Theater District. When he went to the bathroom to wash his hand, he gently leaned on the edge of the sink and the entire sink, along with the plaintiff crashed to the floor, causing the sink to explode and sharp porcelain shards to cut the plaintiff’s hand.
