Default So a woman walks into a glass door....

And sues.


http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alber.../16810671.html

This actually happened to a friend of mine on a Vancouver trip in a hotel. He broke his nose, and we all laughed. No one was sued because simply it wasn't the hotels fault.

Anything for a quick buck I guess.

LOL, all those injuries from walking into a glass door. Frozen shoulder syndrome, hilarious...sounds more like bruised pride syndrome. Had to build a main floor bathroom...didn't want to go upstairs to take dumps. let it go already, you should go for the $10,000 first prize on AFV rather than this BS lawsuit.

Stovel claims she suffered "severe" injuries:

a laceration to the right side of her head
contusions to the right side of her face
a right shoulder strain
fracture of her left femur
multiple contusions


Maybe the title should be "So a woman sprints into a glass door..."?



That's really bringing the pain for just walking into a door.

Fancy ways of saying
a scuff on her face that will be gone in a couple days
a bruise you can barely see to go with that scuff
her shoulder hurts so lets claim it as a strain
she fractured her hip years ago
any bruise on her body was obviously created by this glass door.


I did this in BC not to long ago and a law suit was the LAST thing on my mind.

Soon PETA will be suing anyone with a glass patio door or office window because of the birds that buy the farm every day when they smack into it.

Frozen Shoulder Syndrome from walking into a glass door? Come on. I have that, moderately mind you, and got it from being hit by a car in a car/pedestrian accident. There is no way a person can walk into a glass door and cause this. She would have also had to seperate/dislocate her shoulder or tear a ligament in her shoulder. A shoulder strain isn't enough to cause this. And breaking a femur? Did she superkick the door after she crashed into it to show it whose boss?

The only injuries I could believe she suffered is possibly a bruise, a cut (depending how/where she hit the door its possible) and a lifetime of jokes by her friends and strangers for hitting a door and suing.

I wonder if the store has security video of her hitting the door. Both for evidence and entertainment sake.

Man, people will sue over anything. My wife walked into a glass window several years back. She missed the door on the other side, and assumed the little vestibule was an open entryway. After making sure she was ok, she laughed it off, and we continued on with our day.

Unless she had Reggie do the tunnel of death on her, I can't see how anyone could suffer those injuries walking into a glass door.

LOL, seriously, I crashed a mototcycle, into a concrete median, at about 50 kph a few years back, and didn't suffer injuries that traumatic. Are we missing the part where she was launched from a trebuchet into the door? Frivolous lawsuit is frivolous.
