Dockery’s lawyers, Sanford Rubenstein and Mark Shirian, say that before those first responders could reach Henderson, though, an MTA employee snapped pictures of Henderson as he was still alive and laying in a pool of blood. Because of the pictures, Dockery “sustained severe permanent personal injuries and emotional distress” and was deprived of her right “to control the physical remains, memory, and death images of her deceased husband.” For that, she is seeking $28.5 million from the MTA.
