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.

63. Really? I stubbed my toe at the mall today on a stair because I'm a fool who wasn't watching where I was walking. Should I sue them for my sore toe? NO! If you fall, its not the other party's fault. People will do anything to make a quit buck this days. Seriously, I'm sure a fall down the stairs hurt Judy, but you need to go home and heal. If you broke your hip I'd understand better. But not if your butt hurts. Twenty-five grand is a bit much for a boo-boo.

64. I think if she was working at the time she fell,she should get the money for her medical bills and her pain and suffering ....she is the injured worker.in the mean time have the workers sign a form so the show want be sued when these accidents happen....the show should have workers comp or some kind of coverage.........

66. If I had 25,000 for every fall I've had I would be the richest person in the world. It is sad that they will probably settle because someone was greedy and hatin' because she wasn't the contestant.

67. This is ridiculous! People will do anything these days to make a quick buck. It's pretty sad that a grown woman can't just come to the realization that it was nobodies fault but her own! Even had there been a railing she then would have claimed it contributed to further injuries, the Deal or No Deal company would have been screwed either way. If there was poor lighting she should have taken more time to get to the stage. And lastly if she had only scrapes and bruises and no broken bones requiring x-rays or casts or doctor visits, she doesn't need or deserve the money. Judy Myers needs to grow up and make money the old fashioned way...GET A JOB!!!!!!!

71. After learning of all the vigorous questions and interviews a person must endure to even be a contestant, I guess Judy Myers decided she was gonna be famous by jumping through hoops a totally different way. Karma. She'd better be really hurt, and she better not ever show up on Ballroom Challenge or the X Games, or I'm going to sue her for being a waste of time to read about. OH, MY EYES HURT, THE STORY, IT'S TOO STUPID TO READ!! SOMEBODY CALL A DOCTOR, GET MY LAWYER ON THE PHONE.....SUE....SUE....SUE!

Really, people have kissed off working for their money; now they just strap on a pair of wings and circle like vultures.
