The Supreme Court overturned a dismissal of a woman’s case. Here’s a brief outline of the case:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A woman who tripped and fell over letters, packages and periodicals left on her front porch can sue the U.S. Postal Service for damages, the Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday.
The 7-1 ruling was a victory for Barbara Dolan, who said she suffered wrist and back injuries when she fell in 2001 in front of her Glenside, Pennsylvania, home.
She said postal employees acted negligently by leaving the mail on her porch. No further details were available on the circumstances of her fall.
The good news is, you no longer have to look where you’re going. Paperboys beware!
