Jeanine Pirro files a $250,000 negligence suit in New York over a trip-and-fall

Pirro seeks $250,000 for injuries from tripping on a wooden block during Con Edison gas-main work, blaming city oversight and utility negligence.

  • On Aug. 28, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, filed a $250,000 lawsuit against Rye and ConEd over her fall in Rye.
  • According to the filing in state court, the suit says ConEd's gas-main work involved a hazard created by a wooden block protruding from under a steel plate covering the DPW 3919 excavation, which Rye failed to enforce safety requirements.
  • Pirro's filing alleges she was confined to bed, required medical treatment, and suffered serious injuries including bruises and contusions to her head, eye, face, and shoulder.
  • The $250,000 claim raises safety oversight questions for utility work and municipal contracting involving Rye and ConEd, given Pirro's high-profile legal background.
