The Worst Holiday Hazard?Apparently exploding gravy tops the list which includes falls from rocking horses and tipsy party guests toppling downstairs. 2 CommentsJosh said on 12/29/04 @ 02:56 PM:My brother-in-law broke his ankle at a friend's house during Thanksgiving 2002. Two of the friends where wrestling and one got pushed over onto Kade, snapping his ankle in two places. A bunch of plates, screws and pins later, he was was back in one piece. As a kitchen manager at a fancy Phoenix-area restaurant, though, he couldn't do his job, which required standing up for 10 hours a day. He ended up getting compensated by the friend's homeowner's insurance for lost wages, pain and suffering, and medical expenses, to the tune of about $80k (he was out of work for 3 months). The insurance company didn't even bat an eye when it came to shelling out the dough on this. Can you imagine the claims adjuster who reads that the gravy exploded and caused 3rd degree burns, etc? I bet claims adjusters must really get a kick out of some of the claims that come their way. Amby said on 12/30/04 @ 12:16 AM: Exploding gravy?!? How do you do that? Post a comment |
