Another gem from the world of weird and wonderful personal injury claims, this time from the rarefied world of the classical music industry.

A lead trumpeter from an opera company claims that he has repetitive strain injury in his lips, leaving them unfit for work.

A spurious claim, you may be thinking, but apparently the company did not respond to the trumpeter's complaints, meaning it was a foreseeable injury.

A case of more than he could Handel, perhaps?
