Cameron Mackintosh Hands Out $2.9 Million in Settlement with Injured Delivery Man

According to the Daily News, theatre producer Cameron Mackintosh just handed over $2.9 million in a settlement with a FedEx delivery man that slipped and fell outside of his midtown offices. The 54 year-old was injured in November 2008, suffering "a torn rotator cuff, ruptured quadriceps tendon and torn meniscus in his knee, as well as neck and back injuries."

The floor outside of Mackintosh's office was wet because the producer's cleaning lady had just mopped the floor. Office manager Jennifer O'Connor commented: "It is my understanding that because we care about the look of our office and our high-profile clientele that (Esme David) was hired to come in and do supplemental cleaning . . . because what was done by the building was not sufficient."
