Woman who drunkenly broke her neck while diving into swingers’ club pool is suing the NHS for more than £10 MILLION

A SWINGER who broke her neck diving into a pool while drunk on a club night is suing the NHS for more than £10 million in damages.

She claims paramedics caused more damage by pulling her out, leaving her paralyzed.

As a result, she will no longer be able to walk, work or live independently, according to documents filed with the Supreme Court.

The woman is suing North West Ambulance Services Trust and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for personal injury and consequential damages.

She suffered a permanent spinal cord injury and spent more than six months in hospital.

The woman had dived into the shallow end of a pool at Infusion Blackpool swingers club and converted bus station, in August 2021.

Staff who spotted her floating carefully removed her while her partner called 999, documents claim.

It is said that medics used a track chair – a wheelchair used to transport patients – to move her without supporting her head, but dropped her so that she fell to the ground.

In her claim, she says doctors did not realize she had hit her head in the pool.

She also accuses hospital staff of not suspecting she injured her neck and of failing to take steps to prevent her spinal cord injury from worsening.

The ambulance service said it would be “inappropriate to comment” on the case.
