WINNIPEG -- A women who nearly froze to death outside her home after a night of drinking is suing the city, emergency personnel and the taxi driver who dropped her off.

Kim Simon has undergone several skin grafts, has lost one finger and has severe nerve damage in her right leg after spending seven hours in the cold last January, said her lawyer Samuel Wilder.

Wilder said emergency personnel and the taxi driver should have made sure Simon was safely inside her house before leaving.

Simon was 33 years old at the time.

The stay-at-home mother of two, who holds a degree in sociology and law enforcement, was out with friends when she had several beers and passed out in the cab on the way home.

'SHE WAS PERPLEXED'

At the time, Wes Shoemaker, chief of the city's fire and paramedic services, said six emergency personnel were called to the home by the cab driver.

"She came out of the cab with them and she was perplexed why they were there," Shoemaker said. "She didn't want their services."

Simon's father, Bill Unger, said his daughter was found with her pants pulled down and the skin on her legs was exposed right down to her ankles.

Her winter jacket was open, her keys were clenched in her left hand and she had a cut on her lip.

The defendants have 20 days to file a defence.

Unfortunately stupidity is not a defense, however in this case it is a lifetime sentence.
