Woman Sues Government after Sex Injury On Work Trip

This happened in Australia, but I can definitely see it happening here. 
The woman, who cannot be identified, was injured when a glass light fitting came away from the wall above the bed as she was having sex with a man in 2007.

The light struck her in the face, leaving her with injuries to her nose, mouth and a tooth, as well as "a consequent psychiatric injury" described as an adjustment disorder.

She is claiming entitlement to compensation because her injuries were caused "during the course of her employment" because she was sent to a regional town to spend the night ahead of a meeting early the next day.

Her lawyers argue that the injury was sustained "in an ordinary incident of life, commonly undertaken in a motel room at night -- namely, lawful sexual activity."
I would think that no one would want to take this sort of thing to court.  I would be wrong.
