Al Sharpton’s daughter sues city for $5M after spraining ankle


Shakedown artist Al Sharpton’s eldest child wants $5 million from city taxpayers after she fell in the street and sprained her ankle, court rec­ords show.

Dominique Sharpton, 28, says she was “severely injured, bruised and wounded” when she stumbled over uneven pavement at the corner of Broome Street and Broadway downtown last year, according to a lawsuit.

Currently on vacation in Bali, the membership director for her gadfly dad’s National Action Network claims she “still suffers and will continue to suffer for some time physical pain and bodily injuries,” according to the suit filed against the city departments of Transportation and Environmental Protection.
“I sprained my ankle real bad lol,” she wrote in a post to Instagram after the Oct. 2 fall.

She was pictured in a walking boot in the weeks following the tumble, but by December, Dominique was good to go for NAN’s Justice for All march in Washington, DC, and for a New Year’s Eve jaunt to Miami Beach.

And despite claiming “permanent physical pain” in a breathless notice of claim in December, at around the same time there were social-media shots of her in high heels and fancy dresses and climbing a ladder to decorate a Christmas tree.
Dominique Sharpton claims she fell in a crosswalk, which would make hers a “defective roadway” claim. The city received 774 such claims in the 2014 fiscal year alone.

Falling in the street left her with “internal and external injuries to the whole body, lower and upper limbs, the full extent of which are unknown, permanent pain and mental anguish,” she alleges in the court document.

The younger Sharpton is seeking the damages for “loss of quality of life, future pain and suffering, future medical bills, [and] future diminution of income,” according to court papers.

Poor girl, I hope she's ok.

Damn, does anyone really expect any less from Al Sharpton's daughter???? Low of the low..

Tell her if she learned to pick up her feet and watch where she is walking that would not have happened...

Oh for heaven sake!!
Statistically most sprained ankles & the worst sprains, happen in Metropolitan cities, on a CURB.
Happens all the time.

What shoes was she wearing, ? etc.. Any podiatrist will tell you, that women should NOT wear higher than 2 inch heels.

The GREED & Self Centeredness & attention seeking of this family is incredible! * MEDIA JUNKIES*

I'm going to Google how much that, CUSTOM made dress costs ? & if daddy pays , & the tax payers pay for that still-? at 28 yrs old.

Broken sidewalks and rough pavement can be a windfall for pedestrians. One plaintiff, Denise Giles, snagged a cool $2.25 million settlement seven years after suing the city’s Health and Hospitals Corp. for failing to fix a broken sidewalk outside one of its clinics. Giles claimed she needed ankle surgery as a result of her fall.

Her payout was one of 885, or $60 million worth, that the city made over a 22-month period for defective sidewalks.


The corner of Broome Street and Broadway where Dominique Sharpton fell and sprained her ankle.

Apparently she tripped over the white crosswalk line, so technically it's a hate crime. FBI agents seized the line and wrestled it to the ground.

The crosswalks attorney says members of the NAACP have crossed paths with it on several occasions, and there has never been any incidents. He says the crosswalk denies all culpability in the accident, and says it will vigorously defend itself in court.

Their defense will be that crosswalks black co-worker asphalt was mad at Ms. Sharpton for not keepin' it 100%, and for being a "Fake a$$ biyotch" according to its deposition.

The City of New York says it cannot comment on ongoing litigation at this time. A source who wished not be named says "She's just be trippin' for real!"

Amazing...

The city also has had to pay $60 million in 885 claims of "defective sidewalks" over a 22-month period.

In an Instagram post just after her accident, Sharpton wrote, "I sprained my ankle real bad lol."


Sharpton works for her father's National Action Network, where she serves as membership director.

Al Sharpton was asked about the case, responding, "She’s 29 years old. Why would she have to talk to me about that? I just know that she was hurt and that she got a lawyer and she’s a grown woman. [Where] she goes from there, I have no idea."

i was thinking the same thing, something looks "out of place"

thats how NATURAL breasts look guys,, lol

seriously?

its called gravity, that's why women usually wear bras,,, so either she chose not to wear one or she wore one that didn't support her evenly

Looks more like the surgeon ran out of silicone.

I've seen more than my share of natural breasts.
Hers, look more like a natural disaster.

yep, I look at two of the EVERYDAY

it happens when one bends more one way than the other, without a bra,,,


no mystery there,,,

Right hand / left hand dominance
can also play a role in the difference in breast size.
But, not to the circus freak proportions, that woman is
sporting.

If judges are paying out on that kind of garbage claim then they need to update laws.

There is a reasonable expectation that a person can travel a roadway in reasonable safety not and absolute guarantee there will be no danger.

And if they still pay out on garbage claims judges should be removed from the bench.

Somewhere people have to take personal responsibility and provide for their own safety and medical care.

The way I see some people acting in the street it is a miracle many survive.

When you try to squeeze five pounds of flour in a one pound sack you are going to have some pinching. Looks disgusting that a woman her age has to let herself go out looking like that; especially when she knows she is going to be photographed, without a mother, friend or stylist correcting the problem. That is what mirrors are invented for but obviously she is the exception. Wonder who she will sue for that fauxpas?
