Some people? They've got balls of steel. I'm not one of these people, per se, but the woman who filed a workers' comp suit for getting injured while she was having sex on a business trip certainly is. And to her, I offer a virtual fist bump. Because you know what? She actually got it.
A federal court judge ruled today that the unidentified woman in her 30s is entitled workers' compensation because, much like eating or walking or photocopying, the sex she was having was an "ordinary incident of life." I mean, technically, yeah, sex is an ordinary part of life. But I'm not so sure this woman's sex was ordinary. Wait 'til you hear how she was injured.
According to the woman's companion, the two were "going hard" when a glass light fixture fell off of the hotel's wall and onto the woman's head. She filed the claim on the basis of having suffered facial and psychological injuries.
Weird? Yes. But the lady technically does have a point. If she were boning this dude in the privacy of her, or his, own home, odds are a sconce wouldn't have fallen on her face. In other words, she would have never been injured were she not away on business. It's a super technical, highly litigious situation, but at the end of the day, legally, she's right. The system sucks unless it works in your favor, right?
Legalities aside, this woman really is my hero. I mean, to file for workers' comp in regards to something that happened mid-bone is a bold move. She's basically saying, "I don't give a crap what the world thinks of me, I want my money. And, yeah, I was having super dirty sex. What?" Brilliant. I'd never have the cojones to do something like that. Not in a million years.
Do you think this woman was right to file for workers' comp? Or to get it?

It's cojones, not cajones. And why do you assume the sex she was having was "super dirty"???? I find that offensive. Surely nice married women the world over have good clean sex with their husbands from time to time that can be described as "going hard," no? Our society is soooooo sex-negative!!!
Unless she was a prostute and her boss was her pimp, she does not have the right and should not have the right to claim worker's comp. I am going to assume here that sex was not part of her actual job descripton. If anything, if she just absolutely HAS to sue SOMEBODY, she should be suing the hotel for not properly installing the sconce. I personally though would just let it go.

I feel like this is a little bit ridiculous... I mean, she wasnt performing her job when she was injured. I just assumed you'd have to me injured "on the job" in order to get comp.
Anyway...how hard were they going at it that they actually caused a light fixture to fall? Geez lol
HockeyMomNJ... A fist PUMP and a fist BUMP are two different things. A fist pump is just a retarted move people do. And a fist bump is bumping your fist to anouther persons fist.
I'm glad she got it. There is no reason why a light fixture in a hotel should fall off of a wall due to a vibration in the wall or something banging on it! (excuse the pun) She was on a business trip and an incident occurred in which she got injured. If she tripped and fell over a threshold into the room very few people would question her filing for workmans comp.
