wow! as a reporter, she should have known to file right of way. now, when she went into this inflatable ball, did she sign any waiver? if not, then it should have been taken care of the first day of the incident. but to go back to 2 yrs after the fact, makes me wonder if something else happened she was at fault for? this inflatable ball, if it was still intact after the off-course collision should not have given her permament injuries. it did say she was belted in, so she was not thrown about. wonder if she is out of job now because of injuries, but she is a writer, and unless she suffered brain damage or permament writer’s cramp – she still can do a job!
but here’s the issue, if that accident happened why did you wait? if your back was not hurt back 2 yrs ago, how can you now claim that it is? you might have hurt your back by bending over and picking up a box of toilet paper. you may have run to the copier and slipped on the floor. this is why i question that she is now filing after 2 yrs! accountability of actions since the rolling ball manuever! she could have been in a car accident where she was at-fault and cause more injury to it… so you see why 2 yrs after the incident is a long time to figure i need help.
Here is my 2 cents worth. She was on the job as a reporter so I would assume she filed WC at the time. CA has a two year statue of limitation (SOL) for filing subrogation, so again PERHAPS Maine has a similar SOL. Perhaps she did file a claim with the ski resort but they either refused to settle or would not settle for what she was looking for. It is conceivable that she is filing now to preserve the SOL.
you bring up an interesting point — where’s the Workmans Comp claim in all this? afterall, she did it for the newspaper…. this could be a possible fraud case —
Pretty work Rusty! You have the skills of a ACE claims adjuster!I think “Two Cents Worth” most likely has it figured out. As a coverholder for a rather large facility in London, we have been asked to insure such activities and have refused to do so, for exactly this reason.
wudchuck, not sure where you come up with the fraud angle, but WC always pays first and then has a right to subrogate against a third party. The reporter can collect WC benefits and still go after a negligent third party without any fraud being involved. Any settlement she receives would then be divided up between the WC carrier, her attorney and then she gets what is left over.

No waiver form was ever signed?
That’s right, wudchuck. In your world, nobody is allowed to sue. Ever.
but here’s the issue, if that accident happened why did you wait? if your back was not hurt back 2 yrs ago, how can you now claim that it is? you might have hurt your back by bending over and picking up a box of toilet paper. you may have run to the copier and slipped on the floor. this is why i question that she is now filing after 2 yrs! accountability of actions since the rolling ball manuever! she could have been in a car accident where she was at-fault and cause more injury to it… so you see why 2 yrs after the incident is a long time to figure i need help.
… but the picture may be more than 2 years old.
