Worked in a lumber yard during my college years. Through my own stupidity, ended up dropping a forklift tyne on my hand. Hurt like the dickens. I eventually made a full recovery.
I would seriously doubt that a hand dryer would amputate a foot.
I'd have a hard time suing an establishment for an accident due to my own clumsiness.
Now, if there was willful negligence on their part - I dunoo....employees tossing bricks into random bathrooms stalls, or something, then I'd see a point to it. But suing for just a random accident - and especially the fact that she took a year to get around to it AND patronized the business in the meantime..... That just sounds to me like someone is looking to get paid.
And your medical credentials are?
Seriously, odd things happen. I knew of a couple of brothers wrestling on the floor and the brother’s neck just bent the wrong way - paralyzed.
My point was not that a dryer could or would amputate a foot - although I have a hunch that the right dryer at the right height could sever a foot fairly significantly - it was merely to make the point that people get injured in the oddest and simplest ways and that judging that without really knowing is unkind.
