NYC Victim of Dog Attack Settles Lawsuit with City

The city of New York has agreed to a $750,000 settlement with a Queens woman who was mauled by a pack of wild dogs in 2001, leaving her with severe scarring and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Marlene Fils-Aime was trying to rescue a man who was being attacked by the dogs on a Queens boardwalk when the dogs attacked her, the lawsuit claims.

Her lawsuit stated that the city was responsible because they left garbage in empty lots around the boardwalk, which attracted the packs of stray dogs.

The man who was being attacked, Lev Liberman, settled with the city for $3 million in 2007. Thomas Zambito , New York Daily News 06/23/2010
