A New York City Detective was seriously injured when, while he attempted to make an arrest of a parolee, he slipped on a wet staircase injuring his right hip and left knee. The Detective underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus and micro fracture of the medial femoral condyle. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and a second surgery was recommended. Subsequently, the Detective was awarded a ¾ line-of-duty accidental disability. After the incident, the Detective called DCD. DCD hired an investigator who discovered a ceiling leak above the staircase which led to the wet steps. DCD sued the building owner pursuant to GML §205-e alleging the building owner failed to maintain the staircase in a safe condition thereby violating New York City Administrative Code §§28-301.1, 27-375(f)(g)(h) and 27-376. Although this was a severely contested litigation, Dominic DiPrisco settled this matter for $495,000.
