Interesting decision by Australian Court....

but it seems to me that a more lucrative solution for the injured party would have been to sue the hotel.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - An Australian court has ruled that a bureaucrat who was injured while having sex on a business trip is eligible for worker's compensation benefits.

The Full Bench of the Federal Court ruled Dec. 13 in favor of the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, and rejecting the appeal of the federal government's insurer.

The woman was hospitalized after being injured in 2007 during sex with a male friend while staying in a motel in the town of Nowra, 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of her hometown of Sydney.

During the sex, a glass light fitting was torn from its mount above the bed and landed on her face, injuring her nose and mouth. She later suffered depression and was unable to continue working for the government.

Certainly sounds energetic, though.

Reminds me of a union case I handled where a woman was coming in to work and fell in the back parking lot. She wanted worker's comp which was out of the question because she did not make it into the building.

I told her she was nuts. Get a lawyer and sue the landlord. The insurance company would settle long before it got to court but this woman was adamant until I found the law citation and waved it under her nose.

They settled the case.
