Lesley Mettler Auld, a 53-year-old female ultra marathon runner who suffered severe injuries after falling on a sidewalk in Seattle in 2021, has been awarded a hefty compensation of 131 million USD (approximately 4.24 billion TWD) by a jury. Auld, facing difficulty in walking since the accident, sued the Seattle municipality and the building operator at the site for an unsafe sidewalk covered in water and algae. The court ruled in her favor, considering her professional athlete status, previous marathon participation, and future earning potential.
