Rotting Dangerous Central Park Zoo Tree

New York Times and New York Post articles have highlighted the deadly dangers that shoddy inspection and maintenance of New York City's trees have caused New Yorkers and its visitors. Dino Mastropietro represented a mother who was catastrophically injured when a rotting tree limb fell striking her and killing her six-month old baby. The defendants and their insurance companies aggressively defended their inaction alleging the tree branch fell through no fault of their own. After years of grueling litigation, Dino Mastropietro established the defendants' shoddy tree care program and his clients' extensive injuries. The final award of $13.75 million for the family ensured that New York City, the Central Park Zoo, and the tree care company accept responsibility for the dangerous condition they created in the park and zoo and that the family's baby is never forgotten.

Demanding only the highest quality work of himself and the attorneys on his staff, Mastropietro prepares each case with painstaking attention to detail with the belief that it will go before a trial jury. He believes that in addition to skills, talent and experience, preparation makes a trial lawyer most effective in the courtroom and at the negotiating table. His dedication has secured financial comfort for many of the firms clients and their families.

“I believe the trial attorney’s most effective tool is his total command of the law and facts of the case. Nothing beats preparation,” Mastropietro says.
