    Concierge gets $3.78M for fall at hotel

    A jury awarded $3.78 million to a woman who severely aggravated a back injury when she fell down a staircase at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. Greimar Ruiz, who was a concierge at the hotel, claimed that her fall in 2004 aggravated a four-year-old lumbar fusion surgery. As a result, Ruiz is on morphine daily and she can no longer engage in activities such as basketball, waterskiing, jogging and in-line skating. The staircase lacked a handrail. The hotel conceded liability, but argued her fall wasn't related to her present condition. Of the award, she received $900,000 for future pain and suffering.
