Impaled Vagina Woman Sues

An Austrailian woman is suing her former fiance after a drunken fall off a veranda left her impaled on a garden picket in November 2008.

South Ballarat woman Michelle Egglestone is suing for damages and loss of earnings after being injured at the home of Leslie Furness at Smythes Creek near Ballarat.

The document states the 35-year-old was urinating off the side of a veranda in the back garden when she fell onto a star picket underneath.

She suffered pelvic, lower abdominal, vaginal, rectal and bladder injuries and required surgery.

Ms Egglestone's lawyers say she has since suffered post traumatic stress and depression.

It is alleged Furness, her former partner and owner of the premises, was negligent for failing to adequately light the veranda and for failing to erect a balustrade around it.


The writ states he created a "situation of danger" and exposed her to injury by not capping the star picket onto which she fell and for not warning her of the risk.

The personal injury claim is expected to go to trial at a date to be fixed.

  11. This seems like a near darwin award to me, I can't imagine why she's suing when she was clearly being reckless.

  12. god damn, I hate idiots like that who think that just because someone else is in the room they instantly have some higher intelligence than them. Seriously if that cow didn't realize the risks of getting drunk when in a flat that had a veranda over a pointed fence then how was he supposed to realize it?
    But i guess we should be angry at the courts that actually took this case as a legitimate inquiry.

  35. Lawsuits like this bullshit one should be reviewed for about five minutes by a judge who has the power to throw them out on the spot if they are as much of a waste of time as this will turn out to be.

    "I never suggested she pee anywhere but inside in my well lit bathroom(s)" your honor." Case closed.
