An Inclusive Litany
7/27/01
A British court ruled that 21-year-old Christina Coles, who suffered
memory loss as a result of a car crash, was entitled to special
compensation from the other driver to help raise her baby daughter.
Coles successfully argued that her daughter would not have been born
had it not been for the crash, because she would have normally
remembered to take her birth control pills. The judge issued the
ruling despite finding that Coles was 75 percent at fault for the
collision.
