## Resource

A grieving family sues Con Edison after their 56-year-old matriarch, Donike Gocaj, died after falling into an unsecured manhole in Manhattan. Stepping out of her car, she plunged ten feet, suffering fatal injuries. The lawsuit alleges utility workers failed to secure the opening or place warning signs, while Con Edison points to video suggesting a truck may have dislodged the cover. Her legacy as a devoted mother and grandmother now lives on as a stark reminder of the deadly cost of neglected safety.
