On March 27, 2026, Anthony Marino obtained a verdict after a one week trial in Supreme Court, New York County before Justice Lyle E. Frank on behalf of one of our educational institution clients. Plaintiff, a then 14 year old student at a New York City Charter School, fractured her ankle and underwent open reduction and internal fixation after a fall during gym class. Suit was brought against the individual teacher and school for allegedly creating an unsafe environment in the class and for alleged lack of supervision. Plaintiff utilized experts for both liability and damages and asked the jury for $6,000,000.00. After deliberating for just 45 minutes, the jury returned a unanimous verdict in favor of the teacher and school finding the plaintiff assumed the risk of injury.
