NY Locksmiths

A woman in New York who has twins was shot 3 times by her ex-boyfriend after her local precinct gave her a temporary order of protection. Claims that a police officer on her case made reckless decisions (with her trusting that he would keep her safe), was the reason why her ex-boyfriend  was able to shoot her when she tried to leave her apartment with her two children. The Jury did come back with a verdict in favor of of the Plaintiff.

The jury specifically determined that the police had acted in

a reckless manner, which recklessness would preclude an

apportionment between the city and the assailant under

CPLR Art. 16. They then awarded $9,900,000, including

$250,000 for past medical costs, $180,000 for future medical

costs, $3,000,000 for past pain and suffering.

$5,000,000 for future pain and suffering (over 40 years) and

$750,000 for past pain and suffering to each of the children.
