'Bang Bang the lighting falls'
'Shine a light on me'
'a Lighter shade of fail'
'Let's trip the light fantastic'
Seriously it was a work trip, having a shag in the evening doesn't change that fact.

It's pretty straight forward - happened on a work trip, therefore employer/insurance is liable. *shrug*
I'm mostly appalled that the whole case took 5 years.
Well, okay, and I'm sort of amused that she actually made the initial claim detailing the real circumstances under which she obtained her injuries.

Oh, and if Lady Tester and I can cause a light fitting to fall on our heads, can we sue? How much money will we get?

''In the absence of any misconduct, or an intentionally self-inflicted injury, the fact that the applicant was engaged in sexual activity rather than some other lawful recreational activity while in her motel room does not lead to any different result.''

It's a question of who should have paid her costs - the employer's insurance or her own. Except for the prurient detail that she was having sex while injured, I can't really see a there's a story here.

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI think the point relates to the fact she was injured by a light falling on her in the motel room as opposed to falling when swinging from the chandelier. If for example I had been beaten up or shot by some redneck halfwit Texan I too would have expected to have been insured/covered by the company as I was doing absolutely nothing intentionally to provoke them.
