NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- A Cosmopolitan magazine employee is suing the individual who installed lights that "scalped" her when they fell on her head during a New York event.
Karen Hanes Larrain's attorney, Michael Schlesinger, said his client received more than 30 stitches after a bank a lights fell on her during a 2005 fashion show during New York's Fashion Week, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.
"She was scalped," Schlesinger said of his client, who also suffered a concussion.
The 40-year-old Cosmopolitan staffer already has a lawsuit pending against Diane von Furstenberg, the designer behind the September 2005 fashion show, regarding her injuries.
