What is a life worth? How much will SF fork over? Who knows but a sprained ankle is
worth $95,000.
Al Sharpton’s daughter bagged $95,000 in settlement money from New York City for spraining
her ankle on an uneven Manhattan street—even after posting photos of herself on social media
climbing mountains and wearing high heels months after the fall.
Lawyers for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio paid Dominique Sharpton, 32, a $95,000 settlement
after admitting the city had been aware of the cracked pavement but did not fix it.
“After a thorough evaluation, we determined that settling this case was in the best interest of
the city,” a spokesman for New York City’s Law Department said in a statement.
