Ethel Tropez, a Hurricane Katrina refugee from New Orleans who lives in Live Oak, Texas, says in court papers she was badly burned and suffered scarring and disfigurement in the mishap on March 29, 2007, in the Hotel Chandler.

A 79-year-old woman who says she fainted after being scalded while taking a shower in a hotel near the Empire State Building last year filed a $100 million negligence lawsuit Thursday.

A Nassau County Supreme Court judge ruled on Monday that the city owes three former Long Beach firefighters roughly $400,000 in disability payments for permanent injuries they suffered on the job.
