Woman Wins 35 Million Dollar Settlement After Glass Door Shattered On Her Head In New York City

A JP Morgan analyst awarded $35 million after a glass door shattered on her in Manhattan. 36-year-old Meghan Brown was leaving a physical therapy appointment in 2015 when the glass door shattered on her. Brown says the event caused a traumatic brain injury which she says ruined her career. The woman was out of a job for a year due to the incident and returned to JP Morgan where she worked until getting fired in 2021. Brown says the injuries lost her her job, impacted her ability to perform everyday tasks and even impact her love life. After being fired from JP Morgan, Brown worked for a cryptocurrency company where she was also fired. She now runs a gelato business. Jurors awarded Brown $35,184,208 in damages after determining that building owner 271 Madison Co.’s negligence was "a substantial factor in causing" the injury.
