CINCINNATI – A woman says two increasingly intoxicated fans at a Cincinnati Bengals game fell on her, breaking her nose and finger and causing other injuries.

The woman and her husband are suing the Bengals, the beer vendor and the county-owned football stadium for negligence, alleging they continued to serve alcohol to "noticeably intoxicated" fans at a 2009 NFL game.

Bengals spokesman Jack Brennan said Tuesday the team wouldn't comment on pending litigation. Neither would the stadium vendor, Philadelphia-based Aramark Corp., company spokeswoman Dave Freireich said. Hamilton County officials didn't immediately return an after-hours phone call Tuesday seeking comment.

Rebecca Dunn and husband Curtis Dunn of Owensboro, Ky., say the two men sitting behind them were served several drinks at Paul Brown Stadium before they fell on her, breaking and gashing her nose, breaking her finger, and causing bruises, sprains and other injuries. Their lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages for past and future pain and suffering and medical treatment that they say has cost $20,000 so far.

They also mention that some Oakley's were broken and they HAD to spend the night in a hotel

How is it a "money grab" if she legitimately has injuries and medical expenses?

everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in the lawsuit. Had they stopped at the injuries, maybe a little more sympathy would be in order.

I was at Arrowhead when a person fell from the 3rd level and I never saw a lawsuit from that

Sounds like they had a good time.

20,000 for a broken finger and nose?? I'd hate to have to go to a hospital there.. I was in a car wreck with brain injuries a few years ago, and my insurance paid out 27,000...

Chiefs Rool · 12-29-2010, 11:15 AM

the idiots who did it should be liable for damages and medical expenses.

No need for a legal system, noswad's here to dispense justice on the basis of a paragraph on the internet.

"As a direct and proximate result of their intoxication, (the two men) lost control and fell" on (Rebecca Dunn), causing "catastrophic injuries" that required nose surgery and continuing orthopedic and other medical treatment, the lawsuit says. The incident also broke her $700 Oakley sunglasses and caused the couple to incur other expenses — they had to spend the night in a downtown hotel because the stadium garage closed after the game before they could retrieve their car, the lawsuit states.

The Dunns also are seeking punitive damages. A court hearing on the lawsuit, filed Nov. 29, is scheduled for next month.

$20K sounds about right for that, that's what hospitals charge for their 10 minutes of work.
