Councilwoman Letitia “Tish” James (D-Fort Greene) is suing a day laborer for causing “serious, severe and permanent [injuries] to her limbs and body” after she walked into a four-inch trailer hitch protruding from the back of his parked car. According to court documents cited in the Brooklyn Paper, James says she suffered “great physical and mental pain” when she brushed against the hitch and cut her leg in Fort Greene last July.
After parking behind the itinerant worker’s car on Fulton Street between S. Portland Avenue and S. Oxford Street, James says she hurt her leg while walking between the vehicles. “It’s a public safety issue,” said James, who claims the incident left her with a seven-inch scar. “My car was parked and his car was parked. His hitch was exposed.”
Jesus Christ on a pony, really?
Wow…
So you’re a clumsy dope and he has to pay for it?
*facepalm*
