What Is Behind Door #1?
Cedrick Makara of New York City, sued Newmark Realty and 40 Worth Associates for negligence, which he claimed caused a bathroom injury to his thumb. Makara, a NYC claims examiner, used a bathroom the door of which had no knob, only a hole "where the knob should have been." He claimed when he put his hand in the hole to leave the bathroom and pulled open the door, another patron pushed the door in to enter, severely injuring Makara's thumb. The injury was so severe he required surgery on his tendons and missed work for six months. A jury recently awarded him nearly $3 million - $2 million for past and future pain and suffering, $200,000 for future medical expenses and $750,000 to his wife, Sharon.
