Two Manhattanites who stored their pricey rides at a doomed Financial District parking garage have filed a $100 million class-action lawsuit over the loss of their cars.
Robert Galpern, the landlord of a nearby Fulton Street building, had parked his customized, $60,000 Toyota Highlander at the garage before it was destroyed, said his lawyer, Migir Ilganayev.
“He paid for it, he bought it and now it’s not there any more,” Ilganayev said.
While Galpern expects to put in an insurance claim on the vehicle, “they’re not going to pay him what he paid for the car. Who is responsible for that? It’s the owners, the operators, the managers of that garage, because that building was very old and run down and had way too many cars on that roof.
