A co-ed children’s talent pageant in a Passaic County hotel turned hazardous when an onlooker of the show fell through a two-foot wide gap hidden behind a curtain of a temporary stage that had been constructed for the pageant. The victim, a gentleman in his 30’s, was posing for a picture when he fell through the gap causing a cervical herniation.
Cerussi & Gunn, P.C., tried and won a $3,000,000 settlement for the victim who claimed he would have to live with permanent pain from the accident despite the fusion surgery as well as shoulder impingement syndrome.
Cerussi & Gunn argued on behalf of the plaintiff that the rental company responsible for constructing the stage created the hazard and that the defendant pageant, who puts on such shows nationally, negligently failed to properly coordinate, inspect, and supervise the activity. The hotel was also named on the basis of its nondelagable duty to provide a safe premise.
