An Oregon woman said she was attacked by a duck and is seeking $275,000 in damages.

The lawsuit, “claims the plaintiff, Cynthia Ruddell, stepped out of her motor home on property owned by her mother in Estacada (OR) on May 7, 2012 when a ‘domestic duck’ attacked her.”  The lawsuit further alleges that the duck had, “dangerous propensities.”

While the lawsuit states medical expenses for Ruddell have added up to approximately $25,000 — “the additional $250,000 claim is for ‘past and future noneconomic damages.'”
