News Anchor Sues Town

WBNG (Binghamton) News Anchor Paul Mueller was hurt in a fall back in September when a steel fire escape detached from his second-story apartment.

Now the Anchor is suing the town for his injuries.

Mueller has sued the Town of Union for his Injuries from the accident. The claim states Mueller sustained several fractured bones and bruised tissue as a result of the fall.

The Town of Union is in charge of safety inspections and code enforcement for the village. When Fox 40 called code enforcement in the weeks after the incident, we were told the engineer's report was not finished yet.

Mueller's claim accuses the Town of Union of improperly inspecting the fire escape, or not inspecting it at all. The claim also states Mueller's injuries impaired his ability to work.

The evening anchor was absent from television for a period of time, but is now back on air.
