$350,000 Settlement for Fractured Forearms

$350,000 settlement for a juvenile who fractured both forearms after he fell on slippery stairs while recovering from drug abuse at a Brooklyn rehabilitation center. The stairs had just been mopped and the staff failed to provide “slippery when wet” signs or other warning devices to prevent the incident. The plaintiff had surgery to set the bones and was left with five-inch vertical scars on both forearms.
