Celebrity Justice
Woman Trips Out During "Deal or No Deal," Sues

Deal or No DealIf you thought watching an episode of "Deal or No Deal" was painful, try being in the audience!

A woman is suing the production company behind the hit game show, after she tripped and fell down a flight of steps during a taping in February, 2006.

According to the lawsuit,obtained by TMZ, Judy Ann Myers claims that during a commercial break, the show's stage manager instructed her to "hurry up and come down" the stairs to perform in an audience dance contest. As Myers hurried to the stage, she claims to have completely wiped out, suffering "great and considerable personal injuries" all over her body. In the suit, Myers blames her bad trip on bad lighting -- and that there were no hand rails on the stairs.

Now Myers is asking a judge for more than $25,000 to heal her wounds. Better call the banker, Howie!

Calls to reps for "Deal or No Deal" were not immediately returned.

32. The show should have had handrails on the stairs, Idiots! If it was you and you fell you'd sue too. All the self righteous blabber mouths on this site are sickening.

33. I agree that people in this country are sue-happy, not wanting to accept responsibility for their own actions. Unfortunately, that is how society is being raised nowadays.
But, IF, and only if, her claims of poor lighting & no randrails on the steps are true, then DOND should be held liable. Handrails must be in place, that's just commom sense. Oops, what was I thinking? This is Hollywood!! Common sense doesn't live there!
As for all of you calling her names, you should be ashamed. Are you soooo perfect??? And what if, God forbid, she fell so hard it resulted in coma or even her death?? Would you still make fun of her??

38. This is just as bad as that retard who tripped on her shoelace while running and decided to sue Nike. But whatever. I'm not surprised. Who in America doesn't sue over the lamest thing?

39. It's a wonder somebody hasn't tripped over Bob Barker's microphone cord! That's a cash cow right there!!!!! I'm sure he must have it in his contract...NO CORDLESS MICROPHONES!!!!!! I think he is still using the one he had when the show started!!!!!

41. Hmm... yeah I get tired of people suing for everything BUT it depends on what the real conditions were. If the lighting and the lack of handrails & the way the steps were setup (all of which the woman had no control over) were actually really dangerous then they should be sued. Also depends on how bad her injuries were. Now me I can trip over my own feet on a flat level area with no extra things going on because I have talent :) Maybe she is like that too? In which case she has some never even stepping outside her door and expecting other people to pay for it. But we have to see what the facts of the case end up being.

42. Big question is...did she get up and participate in the dance contest? Break out the tapes; could be evidence she wasn't hurt that bad!
