The Hoboken Path train station is a busy place during rush hour. Everyone knows this, especially the Port Authority. When Port authority found a hole at the bottom of a stairway, rather than fix it, they put a thin metal plate over the hole without securing to the ground. When our client stepped on it, the metal plate slipped out causing him to fall on to both knees, tearing the quadriceps in both legs. Multiple surgeries were required and our client now requires a cane to walk. Had the Port Authority properly secured the metal plate, the fall never would have happened. The Port Authority agreed to settle the case just before jury selection for $1,625,000. Case was handled by partners Andrew Finkelstein and David Gross.
