A school janitor is suing the Chicago Board of Education and Chicago Public Schools after a portable heater/fan was dropped on her foot.
Yolanda Hallom says that on November 14, 2008, while working at Roswell B. Mason Elementary School as a janitor, "an agent and/or servant" of the defendants was carrying a portable heater/fan that dropped on her foot.
Hallom asserts that the defendants were negligent when they, among other things, "carelessly and negligently dropped a heavy item upon plaintiff."
Yolanda's husband, Tracy, is also suing for loss of consortium.

This case needs to be throw in the trash and make the person who filed this to pay for court cost

I agree, how can the janitor sue for negligence when he/she dropped the fan themselves. The person might be able to collect Workman's Comp because they were injured as a part of their job but anything else is ridiculous. The janitor was obviously not being careful in performing their job.

Actually, an "agent" of the defendants dropped it, meaning a co-worker.
Still, I think a lot of people would agree with you that her claim is ridiculous as well as her husband's.
