Mary Ann L. Ostop, Administratrix of the Estate of George C. Roselli v. Maximum Tree Service LLC: The family of a man who was killed after getting hit in the head by a tree that was being cut down will collect $950,000 after settling their lawsuit against the company hired by the town of Simsbury to do the work.
On the morning of July 3, 2012, Maximum Tree Service LLC began cutting small trees and bushes from a very long driveway and road near where George C. “Craig” Roselli, 73, of Simsbury, lived. The area was heavily wooded, and Roselli lived in an in-law apartment in a residence with his sister, Mary Ann Ostop, and her husband, Dick Ostop.
