Woman sues �BB over lost legs -- Austrian Times

Woman sues �BB over lost legs - General News - Austrian Times Online News - English Newspaper: A Californian woman who lost both her legs in an accident at a train station in Innsbruck has won the next round in a bid to sue the Austrian state owned train company OBB for compensation in an American court.

A panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco had voted 2-1 in September to dismiss Carol Sachs' lawsuit against the OBB on the grounds that US law bars suits against foreign governments (OBB is state owned).

She lost her legs when she fell through a gap on a railway platform in Innsbruck, was hit by a train and is now trying to sue the government-owned railroad for damages.
