Case Number: 129074/1993
Judge: M.A. Tingling
Court: Supreme Court, New York, New York
Plaintiff's Attorney: Mangone & Schnapp, New York, New York
Defendant's Attorney: Law Office of Milton H. Pachter and Goldberg Segalla, L.L.P., Mineola, New York
Description:
Louis Mangone sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on the injuries and damages she sustained as a result of being trapped in the basement of the World Trade Center after it was bombed in 1993. Nash, 65, suffered brain damage and emotional problems as a result of her injuries. She claimed that the trade center officials had ignored their own security reports and should have been better prepared for a terrorist attack.
Nash, who lived in Colorado, had parked her car in the garage under the trade center's Vista Hotel when terrorists set off an explosives-laden van, killing six people and wounding 1,000. Firefighters who were looking for a colleague that had fallen into the six-story deep bomb crater found Nash buried in debris.
The defenses asserted by the Port Authority are not available.
