Statement of Attorney Robert J. Mongeluzzi Regarding Filing by the Pittsburgh Zoo

“Maddox Derkosh was fatally attacked and killed at the Pittsburgh Zoo. The Zoo, in its court filing, attacked Maddox’s grieving mother although the Zoo had been warned by several of its own employees of the very tragedy that would take Maddox’s life, ignored the warnings, and told at least one of those employees, that ‘this is not your concern, go back to work.’ On behalf of the Derkosh family, we look forward to proving, in discovery and at trial, that the Zoo’s position is dead wrong and shameful.”
