I was waiting for someone to say this. I expect the shooter doesn't. By refusing her hospital or first aid he will likely invalidate his insurance, if he had one.

If the shooter has money, simple answer is to sue him. He's responsible.

I just don't believe you can hold anyone accountable, except yourself, in a situation like this.
So you would of abandoned the shoot and taken her to a hospital. Yes and I'm seeing pigs fly over my house. That was the only option if they had insurance cover. We had it for models and it was stated very clearly for anything but the most minor problems the option was simple, hospital.

In law the shooter is responsible, he should of looked after her. It looks like this was on location, so did the model have transport to get to a hospital?

The scene was completed. I was expecting to get medical attention, instead I was taken to Porno Dan?s studio for a first aid kit. I immediately requested to be taken home, as i merely consider this the proper medical attention necessary.
So a trained person administered first aid or untrained. On whose instructions was she taken to the studio and what was the treatment.

This is going to cost this guy Porno Dan a lot of money.

Are Manwin liable?

Needs a lawyer, who chose the model and location. Who was ultimately employing her, etc?

Advice to Manwin. Get lawyers stuck into this, pay the girl off, sack the shooter, instruct all shooters they must have insurance cover, check up on your insurance cover and liabilities. The insurance companies will instruct people how to react after an accident occurs.

The amazing thing is the shooter carried on shooting a girl who was obviously in pain and had a scar. What level of work was produced?
