Annabel Sen’s life changed in one fell swoop: The 24-year-old was on her way to lunch with her boyfriend on January 25 when she was struck by a heavy wooden chair.
The piece of furniture fell from the terrace on the 12th floor of an attic in New York. This stems from a lawsuit filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court, reports the New York Post.
Operated several times on the brain
The young woman suffered a life-threatening brain trauma, among other injuries, that required emergency surgery.
Since then, Sen has had two more brain operations. “That the couch didn’t kill you is honestly a miracle,” Sens attorney Benedict Morelli said of the newspaper. “She is seriously injured, but not dead.”
Sen can no longer work
Sen previously worked for a finance firm and planned to do his master’s degree at Harvard University this fall. Now his plans have been thwarted due to the unsafe chair. “She doesn’t do anything anymore. You just go to the doctor and recover. She has cognitive deficits ”, explains the lawyer. She also had to pay the medical bills herself.
Sen is now suing the owner of the attic. “Hopefully I can get back enough to lead a productive life in the future,” Morelli says. The owners and management declined to comment on the “New York Post.” (szm)
