Slip victim creaming it

-

A Swiss businessma­n who suffered a brain injury after slipping on a puddle of Baileys liqueur at Heathrow Airport has been awarded £130,000 (NZ$250,360), and is suing for more compensati­on. Andreas Wuchner hit his head after slipping on the drink, which had been spilled by a passenger near a British Airways check-in desk in 2017. His office supplies company folded the following year, and he took legal action against the airline over his injuries and for loss of earnings. His lawyer said he was entitled to compensati­on under the Montreal Convention, which governs payouts for injuries suffered by passengers embarking on internatio­nal flights.
