Geese a break!
(No user rating) (from Chicago Sun-Times - 22 October 2001)Geese attack worker
Aramark employee Nolan Lett, 57, was hurt trying to enter his office building. He tried to get in one door, but two Canada geese blocked his way. He went to another door, and a third goose blocked him. "It started acting crazy," Lett said. "I tried to hurry in the building, but it flew at my face. It was very ferocious." As he turned to run, he fell and broke his wrist. Aramark refused to pay his worker's compensation claim for the injury, so he sued. However, his attorney couldn't find any similar cases on which to base their claim -- the closest case was a security guard who was hit by a stray bullet in a bad neighborhood. When attorney Steven Dyki argued that Lett's building "was a 'high-goose' area, as opposed to a high-crime area," Aramark settled the case for $17,767.54. Find other Animals articles
