Australian woman loses sex injury court case
An Australian civil servant has lost a bid for compensation for an injury incurred while she was having sex during a work trip.
The woman was injured when a light fitting fell on her and a colleague while they were having sex in a motel.
The claimant initially won compensation from government insurer Comcare. But the High Court overruled that judgement, saying the woman's employer had not encouraged her to engage in the activity that led to the injury.
The woman says she suffered damage to her nose, mouth and a tooth and psychological trauma after the light fitting was pulled from its mount.
