The Lawsuit
Another interesting fact about the Richardson case is that she wasn’t wearing a helmet. If a civil law suit is commenced for damages against the resort you can bet that will become an issue i.e., is there a duty on the resort to have told her to wear a helmet? What safety precautions were in place? Also, in the alternative should Richardson having been an avid skier known better than to venture out without a helmet?
I remember a story from grade 8 where a really nice teacher of mine who looked exactly like Gargamele had his son completely paralyzed from a skiing accident. That teacher was never the same. He changed completely in his attitude and the attention he gave to his students waned considerably. Eventually, he passed away and many said it was due to the grief. His son was never the same and required 24 hour assistance.
Such accidents can have a profound impact on families and loved ones.
