PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia woman is suing one of the city’s major hospitals, for alleged injuries she suffered in an accident on the hospital’s premises.

Shana Pilgrim of Philadelphia filed suit on Jan. 26 in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas, versus Hahnemann University Hospital, also in Philadelphia.

“On or about Aug. 4, 2015, plaintiff Shana Pilgrim, a business invitee, was lawfully on said property of the defendant. On the aforesaid date and place while plaintiff was on the defendant’s premises, a tile fell from the ceiling and struck her on the neck and shoulder, causing plaintiff to sustain injuries which are more particularly set forth hereinafter,” the suit says.

The plaintiff is seeking damages not in excess of $50,000, plus interest and costs of suit.
