Suit taken straight from a plot line in the movie, The Incredibles: You saved my life, so now I’ll sue you. The NYPD officers risked their lives to save hers. Fiction becomes reality, and reality then becomes farce.

@Doug

You are generally correct, but in this instance the first step in suing a municipality in New York is the filing of a Notice of Claim with that municipality which requires that you set forth the amount of damages you are seeking.

it was my understanding of New York law, that a dollar amount is not allowed in the complaint.
