SANTE FE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico law student has a case of her own after the back of her chair at a law clinic collapsed five days after she began classes.
Jennifer McCabe of Santa Fe is seeking damages from UNM’s Board of Regents and New Mexico Office Furniture, doing business as Business
Environments, which sold UNM 56 “Think Chairs” last year. According to the complaint for damages and personal injury filed Saturday in state District Court by Taos lawyer Robert Crollett, McCabe first sat in the assigned chair on her first day of classes Aug. 20.
On Aug. 24, when she first leaned back in the chair, the back collapsed, causing McCabe to fall backward and then forward, as she tried to keep herself from landing on the floor, according to the complaint.
