Yes, depending on the basis of your claim, you may be able to sue the United States Postal Service (USPS). You can't sue for lost mail, so think about getting insurance if you are concerned about a particular package. You can also send it through certified mail to receive proof that the mail was delivered. But if you are seeking to recover for personal injuries, you can sue the U.S. postal service so long as you follow the proper procedures.
Suing the postal service can be complicated. You need to navigate your way through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) and, if you don't do it right, your claim will be barred. So if you are thinking about suing USPS, consider consulting an experienced personal injury attorney knowledgeable about the FTCA.
The United States Postal Service employs more people than any other independent government agency. As of 2021, the USPS reported having 516,636 career employees and another 136,531 non-career employees. That's roughly the population of Boston.
It's also one of the busiest federal agencies. The USPS operates a fleet of more than 230,000 vehicles and more than 30,000 retail outlets. It processes and delivers 46% of the world's mail, an average of 425.3 million pieces daily. It's the only organization with the resources, network, infrastructure, and logistical capability to serve every residential and business address in the country. If it were a private sector company, the USPS would rank 43 in the 2021 Fortune 500.
