A former Mississippi State cheerleader who suffered a compound leg fracture when an ESPN cart ran over her leg is suing “The Worldwide Leader In Sports.”

According to The Clarion-Ledger, Michaela Mills was dressed as the team’s mascot, “Bully,” during the 2013 Egg Bowl. During an “exciting portion of the game,” the suit alleges that the cart’s driver and spotter failed to alert Mills or watch where they were driving.

Mills suffered a pretty excruciating injury as a result, requiring two immediate surgeries. According to The Clarion-Ledger, the lawsuit states that Mills still experiences pain as a result of the injury despite a surgically-inserted rod.

From the paper’s story:

Mills is seeking in excess of $75,000 in damages due to a compound fracture of her left tibia and fibula; great fright and shock; pain and suffering; medical expenses; loss of enjoyment of life; and all other damages naturally arising from the injuries suffered.

There are plenty of frivolous lawsuits out there. I am not privy to the facts of this case beyond what The Clarion-Ledger has reported, but the damages Mills seeks seem more than reasonable.

It’s surprising that more of these types of injuries don’t take place at sporting events. The NFL polices its sidelines pretty hard, but college sidelines sometimes can get pretty crowded. There’s a combination of activity on the field and with mascots, broadcast crews and more.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Ole Miss did not add insult to injury. Dak Prescott led Mississippi State to a thrilling 17-10 overtime win.

Here’s to hoping Bully continues to recover.
