Woman hit by a drunk driver suing for cost of designer clothes she was wearing

A Portland woman struck by a drunken driver has filed a lawsuit seeking $4,600 (2 million Naira) for the designer clothes she was wearing at the time, on top of the cost of her medical bills. Yahoo News reported.

Susan Layne says the crash not only left her with bruises, scratches and pain but destroyed a Chanel handbag, Prada boots and Burberry trench coat.

Several Portland attorneys said they have never had a client seek compensation for designer clothes, but it isn't outside the realm of possibility.

They say a crash victim with high-priced clothing would be entitled to payment much like someone whose car or laptop was damaged. The Oregonian reported.
