In reply to the discussion: How to get sued for $1.5 million for personal injury while taking a shower. [View all]jberryhill
(62,444 posts)67. Oh, well, you want the advanced course
In that case, here's what you do.
You, the homeowner, make a deal with the guy, tell the insurance company and everyone else, "OMG you should have seen the blood gushing from the guy's crotch".
Then, not only do you split the settlement with the guy in question, but you go after FedEx because their driver had this guy along for the ride, and you've been permanently traumatized by seeing his penis mangled.
Then, you hide the money, divorce your spouse, and run off with the housekeeper.
This case needs more lawyers!
But at the end of the day, it is a run of the mill "slip and fall" claim, that is the basic premise of homeowner's insurance.

OP
We don't have enough facts to determine whether or not there was an actual injury.
