More details to this question:
My husband was injured in our apartment while attempting to retrieve our cat from a hole in our ceiling. He sustained a 4cm laceration across his wrist. Upon exam by a doctor it was discovered that he severed the tendons to the forefinger and thumb, as well as nerve damage. He has already undergone surgery to repair the tendons and nerves. What can we do as far as a law suit goes. NYCHA was informed of the needed repairs prior to the incident and a date for December was given for the repairs to be made.
