Trip. Fall. Sue bridge owner.
This is priceless:
Nadia Hama, who dropped her infant daughter from the Capilano Suspension Bridge nearly five years ago, is pressing ahead with a suit against the operators of the privately owned tourist attraction. She claims the company was negligent in failing to warn the public not to carry children across the narrow bridge, that the bridge is "inherently unstable and dangerous" and that signs should be posted warning visitors to watch their step while crossing the bridge, which sways at times. Lawyers for the company on Monday asked the court to have the case - due for jury trial starting Nov. 15 - dismissed on grounds bridge operators were not negligent. In fact, they argued, it was Hama who was solely responsible for the incident.
The interesting thing is that witnesses to the event said that Hama didn't slip, or trip, or fall. Instead they say they saw her baby fall "smoothly" from her mother's arms.
Hama is seeking general, special and punitive damages against the bridge operators for nervous shock, mental and emotional stress and costs. Apparently, because of the publicity involved in this ridiculous lawsuit, she feels constantly guilty and can't hold down a job, because as soon as people find out who she is, they fire her, or in the case of her friends, dump her like a sack of potatoes.
Hey Nadia. Blow me. You don't deserve a single cent. In fact, you should be locked up in an insane asylum for throwing your kid off the side of a bridge and then trying to sue the bridge owner because they didn't tell you not to throw your kid off the bridge. The story is here.
