"I was in the air, over him," Mirah said. "I fell hard enough you could hear the impact of me hitting the floor over the sound from the jukebox."
Mirah said in the suit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, that she suffered a fractured skull and brain injuries. She is seeking damages for medical bills and lost wages for time missed from work.
