U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is filing a personal injury lawsuit against her hometown over a trip-and-fall incident.
The top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia filed a $250,000 injury lawsuit against the city of Rye, New York, and ConEdison over a fall she alleges occurred in 2025, reported CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane.
"Ms. Pirro tripped and fell over a large wooden block embedded in and protruding from under a steel plate covering the DPW 3919 excavation in the roadway, which constituted a hazardous, defective, dangerous and unsafe condition," states the lawsuit, which lists her husband Albert Pirro as attorney.
The suit blames ConEdison's construction and excavation activities for creating the hazard and faults Rye, which had contracted the work, for failing to enforce its own safety requirements for the project, and the complaints holds both the utility and the city responsible for the former Fox News host's injuries.
"As a result of defendants’ negligence, Ms. Pirro sustained serious personal injuries, including but not limited to bruises and contusions to the head, eye, face, and shoulder areas," the lawsuit states. "Ms. Pirro was confined to bed, required medical attention and treatment, has suffered, and continues to experience pain and suffering, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and economic damages."
