Scalded tenant gets $2M from landlord
A Manhattan building owner and its managing agents agreed to pay a total of $2 million to a tenant who was scalded when her shower's hot-water knob broke in her hand. The injured woman, Ana Feliz, 83 at the time of the July 2006 incident, claimed that the building's managers were aware that the knob was loose, but that they neglected to perform the repair. As a result of the accident, Feliz sustained first- and second-degree burns of more than 10 percent of her body. The defendants contended that the knob had been replaced some 15 months prior to the incident and that Feliz had not reported any further problems. With a trial pending, the parties proceeded to mediation, where a settlement was struck.
