Man Wins Lawsuit After Injury On Job ("Devout Christian" Forced To Turn To Hookers)

LONDON (Reuters) - A devout Christian who said an accident at work boosted his libido and wrecked his marriage as he turned to prostitutes and pornography was awarded more than 3 million pounds ($5.89 million) in damages Tuesday.

Stephen Tame, 29, from Suffolk, suffered severe head injuries in a fall, transforming him from a loyal newlywed into a "disinhibited" character who had two affairs.

He was in a coma for two months after falling from a gantry while working at a bicycle warehouse shortly after his marriage in January 2002. Doctors said it was a miracle he survived.

Awarding him 3.1 million pounds in compensation at London's High Court, Judge Michael Harris said: "His life and the life of his young wife were shattered."

His former employer, Professional Cycle Marketing, of Essex, had argued through their lawyers that his injuries were not as bad as suggested in court.

1. Oh. My. Stars.

This was the best thing that ever happened to him, and he sued?

3. Sued? He hit the bloody jackpot!

He gets an "excuse" for his infidelity and caddishness, and he gets paid millions of dollars!

If only he could have worked a "Swedish bikini models must feed me hot fudge and tequila sundaes" clause into that settlement, he'd have hit the trifecta!
