Mother-of-four left paralyzed after she 'catapulted' off king-size bed during sex sues bed company for $1 million
A 46-year-old woman, who was left paralyzed after falling from a super-king size bed during sex, has reportedly sued Berkshire Bed Company Ltd and is seeking over a million dollars in damages. Reports state that the mother-of-four, Claire Busby, suffered spinal injuries when she fell backward from her double-bed, which was one of the five beds that were delivered to her home in Maidenhead, Berks. She had purchased the beds when she was renovating the property in August 2013, the court heard on Monday.
Busby, a businesswoman who runs a chain of hairdressing and beauty salons, said that she was in bed with her then partner when the absurd incident occurred. The 46-year-old has claimed that the bed was missing two vital "glider" feet when it was delivered, which in turn created a 4cm difference in the height from one side to another, according to reports. Busby has now been left a tetraplegic and appeared in court in a wheelchair, the Daily Mail reported.
The businesswoman, while suing the bed company — trading as Beds Are Uzzz — claimed the bed was "defective."
