UC Med Students Sue Over Corryville Balcony Collapse, Cite Negligence

Plaintiffs level negligence claims against the condo association plus property owners, seeking damages.

Overview

  • Two new complaints filed in Hamilton County name the Stetson Square Condominium Unit Owners Association, Neyer Properties, Eclipse Community Management, and property owners Hezekiel and Saba Eskender.
  • The filings include an eight-plaintiff suit with six first-year UC medical students, while a separate case was brought by a parent on behalf of an injured student.
  • One student remains unconscious with a traumatic brain injury, according to the complaint, and others report fractures, head wounds, and long recoveries.
  • Fire officials initially cited excessive weight as the cause; plaintiffs dispute overcrowding claims and say a structural engineering review is underway.
  • Similar balconies at the complex are currently closed during a safety review, and the city’s code enforcement case remains open.
