There's a video in the link, looks like this, actually the gif is worse as she didn't run into the glass. It just broke.




quote:

A former JP Morgan analyst was awarded a $35 million verdict after the glass door of a Manhattan building suddenly shattered on her nearly a decade ago, leaving her with permanent brain damage, The Post has learned.


quote:

The harrowing incident at 271 Madison Ave. caused a traumatic brain injury to the then-27-year-old, leading to the demise of her promising career in investment banking.


quote:

“Well, one of the biggest problems I have with my brain is that I can’t trust it,” she said during emotional testimony March 12, according to a trial transcript reviewed by The Post.





quote:

Brown’s traumatic brain injury caused myriad problems — including some unusual ones like losing her sense of smell and taste and completely forgetting how to understand Spanish, a language she once spoke fluently, she told jurors.

She was diagnosed with PTSD, her executive function has slowed and her memory, focus and vocabulary have all suffered, she testified.

I can count the number of JPM employees that don't suffer from this normally on one hand.

$35 million seems a little….excessive.

But looking at the video it seems like they’d definitely be liable for something. The brain damage claim seems a little odd, but I guess if it’s medically backed then okay.

I’m just glad they used myriad correctly.

TBI is a frequently disputed claim. The science is not solid. There are experts who can be paid to testify about TBI, damages, and causation.

Those experts throw mud in the water; it's easy to muddy the water. The hard part is trying to get the mud out of the water.

This is one of my biggest problems. I wish someone would give me $35 million because of it.

Having been sued by someone who claimed a myriad of questionable injuries I can attest to this. The plaintiffs put up a ton of doctors, chiropractors, paid experts and "evidence" that I was starting to believe it myself. Then the insurance companies defense attorney broke those frickers down like no one's business. It was shocking. I actually ended up with a Directed Verdict and the Judge dressed the Plaintiffs Attorney down in open court for putting up what ended up being questionable testimony. It was beautiful.

I feel like this is one of the reasons we live in a world full of stupid rules. Every entity has to protect itself from people looking for a payday.
