Woman + three-inch heel of her stiletto’s = survival of the fittest.
Not necessarily. If the smoking area was outside and maintained by the nightclub, but not public property like a sidewalk.........
SORRY... “...for THEIR articles...”
its coming - they already have it for banking:
she will definitely war them again when drinking. they got her over $30,000.
A tib-fib fracture can be very nasty - but I am sensing extremely poor medical care here. Shape of things to come for the U.S. ...
LOL
Falling down drunk?
She is a hefty one. I find it hard to believe that just two Bacardi and Cokes would render her “falling down drunk!” This award is ridiculous!
If she had access to State-of-the-Art orthopaedic care she’d be fine. I snapped my tibia and fibula December 13, 2004. Compound fracture. I had a rod and 3 screws inserted within hours and was partially bearing weight the next day. Discharged from the hospital in 48 hours, walking with a crutch by 2 weeks. Fracture boot came off at 6 weeks and I walked with a cane for another 2 weeks. Then no assistive devices.
It healed with minimal deformity and I have no residual pain. I wasn’t treated at the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins, either. I was treated at a community hospital in Montana.
The British National Health Service probably won’t pay for the special titanium alloy compression rod that I received. They let tib/fib fractures heal the same way they did in 1950 - transverse pins and plaster for 4 months.
She waited for government health care which took four months to set the bone.
Good enough for government work.
England is lost...then again, we're not doing much better.
My hands will get too fatigued typing GUILTY one thousand times so I’ll do this: Guilty X 1K.
lets be generous since shes been forced off her feet for awhile. (snicker)
something like that should never be in 3” heels imho.
GUILTY!
Nope, sorry, better check your local laws... YOU are responsible for the sidewalk in front of your home/business. Even if the city put it in, like it or not its maintenance is YOUR responsiblity.
Of course that’s assuming she was on the “public” sidewalk, all the article says is smoking area, which could have been a patio or something else the bar had.
The article said she broke her leg, but it didn’t mention that she fell squarely on her face into a pile of broken glass and rusty steel shards!
The rest of the story is she will take the £18,000 and get a round trip ticket to America to get proper medical care...
