According to the Aspen Daily News, a woman has filed a lawsuit following a serious injury in a skiing accident last spring. Susan Kern was an Aspen ski instructor for more than 40 years, until she was involved in an accident last spring; she has filed suit against the man who she believes negligently caused her injuries. Ms. Kern slowed down in the slow skiing area around a lift gondola when she was struck by another skier who she says was out of control. Ms. Kern, who is in her late 60′s, was wearing a bright red jacket, and should have been highly visible, when she saw the other skier behind her coming very fast upon her without control. With broken ribs, hip, and leg bones as well as a deflated lung, Ms. Kern ended up in two different hospitals and a nursing home, for quite some time. A year later, she is still in pain, has difficulty walking, has had to give up her job at Aspen, and generally has a significantly lower quality of life. She believes that the other person recklessly failed to meet the required duty of care to other skiers, and is therefore responsible for her injuries, as well as her subsequent pain and suffering.
