A swanky charity gala turned into a painful night out for WABC radio host and former television anchor Rita Cosby — who was conked in the head by a sound speaker, she claimed in a lawsuit.

Cosby, 59, was attending the Catholic Charities event at the Museum of Natural History when a JBL speaker toppled over and injured her during the June 7, 2023 event, she claimed in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.

The longtime reporter and author who worked for Fox News from 1995 to 2005, and co-hosts the Cats & Cosby show on WABC radio, said in court papers that she was seriously hurt as a result of the incident but did not detail the injuries.

Cosby is suing the city, Catholic Charities and a Staten Island company, Pro Sho Sound Services, which provided video, audio and staging services for the fundraiser, for unspecified damages.

Pro Sho Sound and the city Law Department declined comment.

In NYC, a Marxist judge will order a mediation expecting all of their insurance companies to chip into a fat settlement when only the sound system company should be held responsible. It's all about taking insurance companies for a big hit, spreading out the obscene settlements among several companies regardless of fault. That's the NYC court system. Forget about a trial. The insurers are slaughtered by their own attorneys and then get hit with obscene judgments by an absurdly generous jury, 9 in 10 being hardline Democrats who think its only insurance money.

My daughter was seriously injured & almost died because of a drs. neglect & we couldn’t get a penny because the case wasn’t big enough. This person was once famous & is wealthy so she gets money for nothing but being wealthy. My daughter is on lifelong medical care because of neglect & her families wealth. She wasn’t qualified but the hospital covered for her because of her family’s medical connections. We do not stand a chance in this world just being middle class anymore.
