A woman who sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey because she was injured in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center is asking Manhattan jurors for at least $8 million.
Lawyer Louis Mangone said Friday that's what client Linda Nash would have earned if she had not suffered brain damage from the car bomb explosion in the center's underground garage.
In 2005, a state Supreme Court jury found the trade center should have been better prepared for a terrorist attack. An appeals court agreed, making the Port Authority financially liable for injuries.
Attorney Paul Devine says his Port Authority clients agree 65-year-old Nash should be compensated but he thinks she is exaggerating her injuries.
The blast on Feb. 26, 1993, killed six and wounded 1,000.
