Mah Jong Player Falls at Retirement Facility; $250,000 Recovery

A Highland Park woman visited a retirement facility to play Mah Jong with friends.  On her way to the apartment where the game was to be held, she tripped and fell upon a temporary elevator floor covering that was left to protect the marble floor from damage during “move-ins”.   The fall caused her to sustain a non-union fracture of the tibial eminence with underlying traumatic arthritis, for which a possible knee replacement was recommended.
