Injured woman can sue Postal Service - Yahoo! News
The US Supreme Court has ruled that a woman, who fell and suffered wrist and back injuries when she tripped over letters, packages, and periodicals left on her porch, can sue the postal service.
Interestingly, you still can't sue the post office if they don't deliver your mail - yet, others can assume you received something if they mailed it.
Hell, I don't even get half of my mail. I once mailed some things to myself, just to make sure I really wasn't getting all my mail. Out of 10 things mailed, I only got 6. And that was over a year ago.
At any rate, I guess her lawsuit will proceed since the Supreme Court ruled that the postal service is not immune from lawsuit under those specific circumstances.

Thanks, Ted - glad to have you here!
I hope she doesn't mail the summons to the Postal Service.
Yeah, I definitely wouldn't trust them to deliver it, hehehe.
