New York Man’s Slip and Fall Lawsuit Against Catholic Church Set For Trial.

David Jimenez, a 45 year-old resident of Hudson Valley, New York, is going ahead with his well-known lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Church for personal injuries sustained when he tripped and had a large marble statuary fall on top of him.

On Memorial Day in 2010, Jimenez volunteered to scrub grime off the cross. Jimenez was elated after his wife’s recovery from cancer, and decided to volunteer in the Hudson Valley, NY church where he spent countless hours praying for his wife’s recovery.

As Jimenez scrubbed grime off of the cross, he tripped and fell and knocked a 600-pound marble statuary onto himself. The statuary was evidently poorly secured, and it proceeded to topple on top of Jimenez.

Jimenez was flown to the Westchester Medical Center emergency room, where his doctors made the assessment that his leg was too badly hurt to recover. The doctors at the hospital thus amputated Jimenez’s leg.

In March 2011, Jimenez filed a lawsuit against the Roman Catholic Church. The Church denied liability and refused to settle the slip, trip and fall personal injury lawsuit.

Jimenez claims to have been billed over $100,000 for his medical expenses, although the bills were paid by charitable organizations.

Jimenez is seeking $3 million dollars in personal injury damages. The lawsuit is set to go to trial next January.
