Blind Roller-Skater Sues State Of VIRGINIA After Falling At Roller Rink
Edited on Fri Mar-09-07 09:12 AM by matcom
Virginia :rofl:

<snip>

A blind woman who said she fell and injured herself during a state-sponsored roller skating outing has accepted $50,000 in a partial settlement.

Judy Wassenaar said that during the July 2004 outing, she fractured her wrists and injured her shoulders, back and neck when she fell hard on the skating rink floor. She says she was sent off alone around the roller rink after going around the rink once with an escort.

Wassenaar, a resident at the Virginia Rehabilitation Center for the Blind and Vision Impaired, had sought $1.5 million.

The state settled for $50,000 without admitting any guilt, according to documents filed yesterday in Chesapeake Circuit Court.
