Hotel guest injured when chair broke awarded $550,000
A jury awarded $550,000 to a man who injured his back and shoulder when he fell from a broken chair at a motel. John Karetas, a conductor with Norfolk Southern Inc., was staying at the McIntosh Inn in Allentown when the back of his chair broke, causing him to twist his back and fall on his shoulder. He sued the inn and his employer because he had taken a freight train from Harrisburg to Allentown, which required him to stay in the motel overnight. His lawyer argued that the back portion of the chair wasn't properly attached to the base. The jury found tMcIntosh Inn 70 percent liable and Norfolk Southern 30 liable.
