My friend once walked into another classmate, the height difference made it so he went head first into her huge breasts! He nearly got knocked out.

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

Femur fracture?
Sounds like "woman hits glass door on city bus at 90 mph on motorbike"

It's part of the language used. I think Realtor 1 went over them for the most part, but they're trying to sue FOR those. They still have to prove that apparantly bruises all over her body were caused by a single collsion with a door.

I walked into a glass door years ago at South Center - the shopkeeper closed the shop for a few mintues, but put no notice on the door. It hurt like hell.
The question as always - was a duty of care owed? Were reasonable steps taken to protect people?

Just to play devils advocate for a minute here:
If the glass door did not have any sort of 'safety tape' or was otherwise very difficult to see, then perhaps the store should be held liable for injuries that are proven to have happened when the woman walked head/shoulder/hip first and somehow managed her body on this door.
That said, unless she was running from a pack of wild dogs hell bent on tearing her limb from limb (aka sales person from the store), she probably is grossly exaggerating her injuries and she shouldn't get a cent.

How much you want to bet she was texting when she hit the door?

Contributory negligence for the defence!
Maybe she was reading a Jane Austen novel? I wonder if this is the same Nora Foster that filed the claim: http://www.ualberta.ca/~nstovel/index.html

Anyone with some money they don't know what to do with? How's about ordering the pleadings and then posting them to CP?

$10 for the search, plus $1 to copy each page. Looks like it's another $1 to fax each page too. The Statement of Claim is probably 3-10 pages long.

Can't you just order them and bill some client for it? Call it "additional legal research."

I totally would if it was even half way relevant. I don't do personal injury so this is pretty hard to justify.

Wait. Clients actually read their bills?
Shoot. I may have to rethink this career move....

It's always amazing to me that people find lawyers dumb enough to take on these cases.

If the client is paying by the hour, not so dumb.
If the lawyer took the case on contingency, they would have weighed the chances of success. There are likely precedents where such claims have succeeded.

Serious question. Is it hard not to roll your eyes when people like this show up at your office?
