Proven verdicts and settlements

A large tree fell onto a moving car on Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park and trapped the driver, Marcelino Cruz Leiva. He sued the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act, alleging the National Park Service should have found and removed the decayed tree. After a four-day bench trial in December 2023, Judge Amit Mehta entered judgment for Cruz Leiva on his negligence claim in the sum of $5 million on May 7, 2024.
