Lodge sued over elephant attack

The Daily Mail reports that Caroline Pratte says she suffered abdominal wounds and multiple fractures when she was 'attacked' on holiday at the exclusive Lion Camp lodge, in South Luangwa National Park, in October 2011. Her partner, Andrew Ness, who saw the attack, says he suffered 'psychological injury' due to the trauma of witnessing Pratte's ordeal, and is also seeking damages, according to the report. It says the couple's lawyers allege the lodge is 'directly liable for the injuries loss and damage they sustained by reason of their own breaches of duty in relation to their safety or are vicariously liable for the acts and omissions of (tour guide) Samuel Grace'.
