24. Sarah Laughlin of Ellsworth, Wisconsin claims $492.25 for uninsured medical expenses resulting from an accident at the Sellery Hall dormitory at UW-Madison. The fire extinguisher on the seventh floor hall of the dormitory was broken and a piece of metal was protruding from the case. The claimant fell against the case and seriously cut her hand on the protruding metal. Her medical bills totaled $492.25 and were not covered by health insurance. Health insurance is made available to all UW students prior to enrollment. The Board concludes there has been an insufficient showing of negligence on the part of the state, its officers, agents or employes and the claim is not one for which the state is legally liable nor one which the state should assume and pay based on equitable principles.

25. Dov Jelen of Chicago, Illinois claims $703.95 for uninsured medical expenses resulting from an accident at the UW-Madison Art School. The claimant is an art student at the UW. He was helping unload some large sheets of steel for the Art Department when one of the sheets slid loose and cut the claimant's arm. The wound was very severe and accompanied by much loss of blood. The claimant was taken by ambulance to the UW Hospital Emergency Room, where he received treatment. The claimant does not have health insurance. It is not clear whether or not the claimant was specifically instructed to help unload the metal sheets. However, the claimant is part of a group of students who are granted 24 hour access to the art studio. Students with this access are generally expected to help with the maintenance of the studio and to assist whenever necessary with the operation of the studio. It was in this context that the claimant was assisting with the unloading of the sheet metal and was injured. The Board concludes the claim should be paid in the reduced amount of $350.00 based on equitable principles. The Board further concludes the claim should be paid from University of Wisconsin appropriation s.
