The video of this incident also went viral at that time. In which this door was seen falling on Megan. During the hearing in the court, Megan said that, I remember, at that time glass was scattered around me and I fell on the floor. People around were helping me. Due to this accident I got injured on my head. Due to which I lost my job as an analyst at JP Morgan. Because the company felt that due to head injury I was not able to take decisions properly. My memory had become weak due to the head injury. The ability to concentrate was also affected.
Megan told the court that, after recovering from the injury, I returned to work but the company took away my job in 2021 because my work was not the same as before.
Meanwhile, the building owner's lawyer argued that it was a freak accident and beyond anyone's control. To compensate, Megan Brown is treating her injury as if it is more serious than it is.
However, the jury ruled in Megan Brown's favor and awarded $35 million in damages to the building owner. The jury also watched a video that went viral during the trial. Based on the jury's recommendation, the court ordered compensation to the woman.
