Default Re: The litigious society

In Riverhead, N.Y., in December, Oscar Novick, 69, filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against the New York Dinner Theater of Manhasset for injuries he suffered when a dancer from the show (being performed on location at an Office Depot employee holiday party) slipped and fell on top of him during an audience-participation number. The bigger-than-he-is dancer had convinced Novick to step out onto the floor, where she twirled him around to a fast number, "bounced (my head) back and forth into her breasts," and "lowered me down into a dip," but then lost control, with both falling to the floor (Novick with a fractured ankle).

OMG- during my soccer "career" i tore 2 ligs in a defenders ankle (he tackled me during a sprint ), broke two fingers (that goaly was unable to make a fist) and broke a rib (that goaly was faster than i had excpected ) if they had all sued me for 5,5 mio. i would have a 16,5 mio debt

btw: didn't know that Mr. Balfour makes doughnuts- thought he was more into declerations
