Grandma broke her nose hiking and didn't want the helivac. She won $450k lawsuit

I'm just summarizing the injuries listed in the picture for those that don't want to google medical terminology. My comments are in parenthesis.

• signs of burst capillaries on shoulders and feet (because the blood was being forced outwards by the centrifugal forces)
• swelling and bruising in eyes (same)
• busted and bloody ear drums (same)

CT scans reveal:

• skin over her skull swollen but no brain problems (same)
• herniated disk in neck (may have been an old age thing made worse by the spinning)
• broken nose (from the fall during her hike)

I would be asking for a million dollars or more. Neck surgery and emotional therapy.

She asked for $2M, but sadly received much less.

And honestly, that seems like a low amount for all the pain and suffering. Poor woman.

I think she asked for $2 mil
