Morgan & Morgan attorney Nick Panagakis discusses the case and how he focused the evidence on showing that the defendants knowingly directed patrons to a dangerous staircase and restricted access to a second, safer staircase reserved for employees. Over nearly a decade of litigation, the team uncovered surveillance footage, testimony from former employees, and extensive evidence documenting long-standing safety concerns tied to the staircase. At trial, they successfully demonstrated the lifelong physical and emotional toll of paralysis on the victim and his wife, securing a $644 million verdict.
