Case Details
A student paralyzed in an apartment fall received $11.6 million. In 2010, a University of Pennsylvania student, Lorna Bernhoft, fell through a raised skylight opening on the fourth floor of an off-campus residence. Bernhoft’s lawsuit named as defendants the building’s owner and student tenants who were aware of the opening. The skylight opening was covered only by flex board and carpet and posed a hidden defect and danger at the rental housing. The fall left her paralyzed.
Additional Notes
She reached an out-of-court settlement with the building’s owners.
