A woman who says her mother could still be alive if it weren’t for New York’s poor response to a Christmas weekend blizzard plans to sue the city.
A lawyer for Laura Freeman filed a notice of claim against the city and several agencies Wednesday. The notice is the first step in filing a civil suit.
Lawyer Sanford Rubenstein says Yvonne Freeman died from a heart attack on Dec. 27 while waiting hours for an ambulance.
Laura Freeman plans to file a $20 million wrongful-death lawsuit.
The city’s Law Department says the case involves a ‘tragic situation.” It says it’s awaiting the legal papers.
