1Opinion of the Court
MANION, Circuit Judge.
Ludmilla Zurba sued the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act after she was struck by an automobile driven by an FBI agent. The district court assessed damages at $519,666, but offset that amount by the $100,000 Zurba had recovered from another tortfeasor. The district court then entered judgment against the United States in the amount of $419,666. The United States appeals, arguing that Zurba’s damages should have been capped at $300,000 — the amount she sought in her administrative claim. We disagree and therefore Affiím.
