Augie Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Unexpectedly, I could read the article. I feel terribly for her and her family. Life is dangerous, and full of fools all around. Especially in a venue like that. There was apparently wrongdoing, but I won’t point blame, or say who needs to be punished and how much. I’ll just pray for her full recovery, for herself and her family. I’m glad I don’t have to settle this. What is the blame? What are the damages? That’s a LOT of gray. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't they have a shot here for any compensation. On 1/12/2020 at 10:19 PM, Just in Atlanta said: It could be a scam. But there seems to be validity here.

jughead77777 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 theyre not getting compensation from the kid in the # 25 jersey. the security company will never agree to this because if they did people who get punched or hit in the head can say they forgot everything in their memory bank. too bad this happened. they might have had a case had she gone off on a stretcher and taken to the hospital by ambulance but proving you forgot stuff is different than just saying it. even in the unlikely event they're compensated for anything whos to say the memory doesn't return the day they cash the check. they say they walked a half a mile to their car and complained in the newspaper article that the bills didn't give them a ride. didn't go see a doctor till the next day. if you can walk a half mile how bad could you have been. the whole story stinks. the article also say shes getting better more alert. perhaps the memory came back too . too many holes in this story. they think they're in for a payday I think theyre sadly mistaken.

Captain Hindsight Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I got a concussion in high school and its no joke. I had a hard time remembering things and places for several weeks. I feel terrible for this women. I can't even imagine if this happened to my wife. As for the lawsuit, as someone said earlier in the thread, bad things happen to people. I know someone who was in a car accident and had a broken collerbone. Couldnt work and she is self employed. The guy had some BS insurance that wouldnt even cover the cost of her now totaled car. So she missed work, lost wages, needs a new car and its because some guy ran a red light? She hired a lawyer to make sure she got was she was entitled to and all those things were now covered Why shouldn't someone get what they are entitled to in a situation like that?

However, if she is lying to get a payday then she may as well go to Hollywood and get it honestly cause she is putting on one heck of an acting job. In short, none of us can say if this is fact or fiction, but if true, its definitely some very rare, freak incident that would likely never happen again at a Bills game. Either way it looks like she will be a multi millionaire from this. No shot. doubt even the security companys insurance company will agree to any of this. it will open up a huge can of worms for the future. there will be so many lawsuits of people claiming they don't remember anything from their past. its not like its a spinal injury that confines someone to a wheelchair . anybody could say they lost their memory there is no way to diagnose it unless they take some sort of polygraph test maybe.

Richmond_Bills Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 A guy that I know has a son who fell and hit his head on a tile floor. Kid had no idea who his family was. Also - the parents are from a Spanish speaking country, but the kid was raised in US, so fluent in both English and Spanish. He had no idea how to speak or understand Spanish. No joke.

I'm sorry, but if this is true, the Bills are absolutely responsible. I mean, if I, as an out-of-town fan wanting to go to a game, go online to buy tickets do they come with a warning "warning do not take women and children to this section it's only for unruly out of control would-be-alpha chest pounding drunken males"? Because if not, how is some out of town fan know this is a bad idea? It's an event open to the public with professional security. There is, or ought to be, a reasonable expectation of personal safety there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough, I can't find any online definitions of the slang term"snowflake" as "innocuous and humorous". I can find this: Snowflake is a 2010s derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly-emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions. Common usages include the terms special snowflake, Generation Snowflake, and snowflake as a politicized insult.
