- Verdict against the United States Postal Service on behalf of the family of a 68-year-old woman who was struck and killed while riding her bicycle westbound on West 29th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in New York City at approximately 12:00 p.m., on July 2, 2011. As the decedent and driver proceeded westbound, the postal truck moved to the right and struck the decedent as the truck attempted to pass. The defense presented two non party witnesses that claimed the decedent suddenly lost her balance as the truck passed her but that there was no contact between the truck and the decedent until the decedent had fallen to the ground and was run over by the right rear wheels of the truck. Claim was made for loss of earnings, pension and social security benefits, loss of parental care and guidance to two adult children, loss of household services and funeral expenses. After a bench trial pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, the magistrate found the United States of America 100% at fault for the happening of this accident. , 2015
