Broward County Jury Awards Over $4.6 Million For Cigar Bar Injury

In a significant legal victory, a jury in Broward County, Florida, awarded Stephanie Alba a substantial sum of $4,684,153.06 on Tuesday, March 19, 2024. This decision came as a result of an incident that occurred at the Cigar Bar in Pembroke Pines, where Alba sustained serious injuries due to a falling wooden panel. The legal representation for Alba was provided by Attorney C. Brandon Arzabe and Paralegal Investigator Steven Sanchez from the esteemed law firm Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey, & Fronrath.

The unfortunate event took place on March 1, 2020, when Alba was visiting the establishment with colleagues. While she was waiting for the restroom, a large panel dislodged from the wall, striking her on the head. This accident necessitated immediate medical attention and resulted in permanent injuries for Alba. Following the incident, Cigar Bar did not address the complaint filed on Alba's behalf, leading to the jury trial.

Daniel Jensen, a partner at Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey, & Fronrath, took on Alba's case in January 2022. Over two years, Jensen and his team dedicated themselves to achieving justice for their client. Their efforts culminated in a verdict that not only covered the $36,000 in medical expenses but also acknowledged the broader impact of the incident on Alba's life.

The verdict has been met with immense gratitude by Stephanie Alba and her family. They expressed their appreciation for the relentless pursuit of justice by Jensen, Arzabe, Sanchez, and the entire team at Lytal Reiter. The law firm is known for its expertise in handling cases related to product liability, medical malpractice, personal injury, and wrongful death.
