An Essex County jury on Sept. 22 awarded $4.55 million to a woman who fell on the dance floor of a banquet hall while attending an event at the facility.

Rose Pietrobon, a 57-year-old, developmentally disabled woman with special needs, was attending a first communion on May 3, 2015, at the Hanover Manor located in East Hanover. While walking onto the dance floor, Pietrobon stepped on a piece of fruit on the floor and fell, according to her suit.
