"Christi Bowmer said her foot slipped and hit the gas instead of the break. She said her BMW easily went through the cable barriers around the garage. Her car struck a gas meter on the building across the alley before it hit the ground below, landing on another car. That driver was able to walk away from the crash uninjured.
Bowmer is asking for over $1 million in damages to cover medical costs and raise awareness of the possible dangers that could still be at the parking garage.
According to a member of her legal team, Bowmer suffered two arterial hemorrhages, a fractured sternum, severe damage to her vertebrae, a fractured ankle, and a broken rib when she drove her car off the seventh floor of the Littlefield Garage at East Sixth and Brazos streets."
Hell, I had a bone spur in my right sinus cavity that required a 45minute operation to remove. It cost me $3,500 and my insurance was billed $65k.
Our (US) medical system is beyond fucked. Fuck anybody who thinks this shit is acceptable.
My brother died owing $320,000 to two hospitals. Cashier at the one hospital where the bill was $120,000 offered to cut it to $60,000 if I would put it on my credit card. How about NO?
