A woman says two increasingly intoxicated fans at a Cincinnati Bengals game fell on her, breaking her nose, finger and causing other injuries.

The woman and her husband are suing the Bengals, the team's beer vendor and the county-owned football stadium for alleged negligence for continuing to serve alcohol to the fans.

Rebecca Dunn and husband, Curtis Dunn, of Owensboro, Ky., say the fans, identified as John Doe and John Doe II, broke and gashed her nose, broke her finger and caused bruises and sprains.

The Bengals declined comment Tuesday on the lawsuit filed late last month in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court, which stemmed from a 2009 NFL game with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for past and future pain and medical treatment.

Now these fans may indeed have a good and reasonable case---if they have witnesses on these guys being visibly intoxicated and were continually served alcohol.
After all, the laws of today site the waiter and bar liable if a patron is served while he is visibly drunk and he goes out and kills someone in his car. I would think same rules apply, accident or not it doesn`t matter---the fact would be if the offender wasn`t drunk he wouldn`t have fallen on her----I`m guessing liability of the server and the company he works for are going to be nailed good.
