NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Trial
attorneys Jordan K. Merson and
Thomas R. Kline will hold a Monday
morning news conference to detail the latest developments in their
fight for justice – and safer parks - on behalf of Central Park
tree collapse victim Anne Monoky and
her family. The Manhattan fashion
marketing executive for Tory Burch
(on leave since the incident) was taking her three sons – ages
seven months, three and four – on a walk (the older boys were
in a double stroller, the baby in a front carrier) through Central
Park at West 62nd St. and West Dr., last August 15th when a dead 75-foot elm
tree suddenly toppled, crushing her and seriously injuring the
three-year-old. Ms. Monoky, who with the help of bystanders and
first responders saved her sons but suffered multiple catastrophic
injuries, including a fractured spine. She has been in a neck brace
since the incident.. Along with her husband, Curt Goldman, they are determined to hold
accountable all those responsible for failing to avert the 'totally
preventable collapse', and to stop similar, looming disasters from
occurring. The first steps in that process were the filing with the
City a Notice of Claim and launching an intensive investigation by
their team of experts – including forensic arborists - into the
incident. Mr. Merson and Mr. Kline will reveal their experts'
conclusions – and concerns about current and potential tree-related
dangers - at the press conference. The City of New York and the Central Park
Conservancy, which is responsible for inspecting and maintaining
the trees in Central Park, were among the defendants named in the
initial filing. The City and the Conservancy also use several
private contractors.
