Hunh?
No really…from TMZ…
A guy claims a Martha Stewart lounge chair collapsed on him after the front legs collapsed, crushing his right index finger. The tip of his finger allegedly fell beneath a deck and was eventually retrieved by a family member.
Up to this point it sounds like your basic personal injury case with standard damages. But this plaintiff is special, claiming he’s a magician who needs use of his hands — every part of them. He also claims the injury has affected his ability to play the banjo, which is a big part of his act.
But wait, there’s more. He also claims he’s a hand model, and who wants to look at a butchered finger?
That’s like the perfect storm of personal injury, the mother of all meat chart cases. Bad luck for the guy. I mean, he had a pretty good thing going there before losing a finger tip. Who doesn’t want to see a banjo playing magician? And, during hard times with that, there’s always plenty of hand modeling work a guy could pick up on the side (guy is from Iowa).
Good luck Magician/Banjo Player/Hand Model, hope things work out for you.
