You remember how, during his performance, Miguel greatly overestimated his leaping abilities and — without notice — took a long leap across the stage and landed with full force on the head and neck of the female victim, who we now know is Khyati Shah.
There was an extremely awkward moment where Miguel continues singing while sitting on stage. Shah suddenly disappears, while Miguel twists around to put his arm around another woman and continues performing. The video of the near-tragic episode immediately went viral and jokes abounded on cyberspace.
Well, the victim and her legal representation don’t think it’s too funny — unless they are figuring the amount of money they can get out from Miguel’s brain belch of a leap attempt.
The lawyer for Shah, Vip Bhola, told tmz.com that “Some of the difficulties she’s experiencing are cognitive in nature and lead to suspicion of a neurological head injury.”
Bhola accuses the Billboard representatives of responding to the accident pathetically by giving her just an ice pack designed to soothe a bruised elbow. Bhola said his new client should have been treated at a hospital.
Bhola and the client are awaiting test results from a neurologist to come back in the next week and then Shah will decide if a lawsuit is in the cards.
Neither Billboard nor Miguel returned calls seeking comment, the media blog said.
