that sucks, welcome back junior

I wrecked a motorcycle on the interstate going 70+, and mr pheer got all fucked up on one of his bikes, so she will be fine. thank god nothing worst happen. best of luck to her speedy recovery

Thats sucks, hope she gets better.

Because their lack of parenting and their kids low IQ has now injured his fiance. She is in pain, will be in pain for awhile, may miss work, and has to live with discomfort caused by some moron and incompetent parents. Since our society doesn't shun these people, and parents don't seem to really give a shit what their kids do, suing them is a nice way to send a big fuck you to them for being shitty parents and hopefully teach them to take some responsibility.

life sucks for everyone. shit happens. doesn't mean a meaningless lawsuit where only attorneys benefit and everyone else sufferes with higher insurance premiums makes it all better. if she was crippled, couldn't work etc.. of course some sort of monetary compensation would be in order. thats what insurance is for. otherwise, its just scrapes and bruises from an accident. accidents happen all the time. the world is an imperfect place. people are imperfect creatures.

suing someone for having a low IQ as you put it, as a means of "sending a message" is hardly rational when you ackowledge upfront that the person isn't going to get the message.

this country is being ruined by P&I lawsuits and all of the fucking maggot, lowlife, ambulance chasing attorneys that thrive on them.

its not about one person getting bruised. its about all of us bearing the costs indirectly because someone got mad and believed the blood sucking attorney that sold him on the idea of suing.

damn..that's fucked dude..

You're blaming the wrong party. It's not the lawsuit that raises your rates, it's the moron drivers who don't have licenses that raise your rates. Blame our government for not being stricter on criminals. The girl will go to court and get a slap on the wrist and will do it again.

There are consequences for actions in our country. If someone steals money from you, you can sue them. If someone kills someone in your family and causes you pain, you can sue them. It's not the best form of justice, but it is a form of justice.

I do agree that there are a lot of bullshit lawsuits, but there are also legit ones. If a drunk driver totals your car, puts you in the hospital for a month, are you going to shrug, shake his hand and say accidents happen?

yeah actually. a guy killed my mother and thats exactly what i did. he was a lowlife, drunk idiot and suing him wouldn't have changed that.

you are absolutely wrong. we live in the worlds most litigious society. its because of people who think exactly like you do and the system that allows it. you have a very backwards view of the legal system and the indirect consequences of stupid lawsuits. for example, doctors all across the USA are shutting down their practices daily because they can't even afford the insurance to operate a business. their not the only ones. you're wrong in your comments... frivolous lawsuits hurt everyone and they create a lot of victems.

in addition to that, you are talking about a pointless lawsuit where there are no real damages and only the attorneys win anyway.

Okay guys, let me clear something up. I speak with authority because I used to work in a law office and we did a lot of this stuff.

This case might be worth $1,000 . . . . tops. The lawyer will get $333, the doctor will get $333, and she will get $333.

Personal injury lawsuit settlements are based on medical bills and pain and suffering (usually factored by how much therapy they had to undergo to recover). How much do you think those are?

You're right. She should be in prison.

How are there no real damages? Is she not hurt? What if it costs her days at work? What do you consider damages?

I agree that lawsuits are out of hand, I never said they weren't. But I also believe that there are situations where they are necessary. If someone blows up my house because they weren't careful with a firecracker, do I not have a right to sue for damages? If someone builds me a house and the roof collapses on me and paralyzes me, do I not have a right to sue?

It just seems like you want a world where no one is held responsible for anything. You can do whatever you want, hurt whoever you want, steal whatever you want, and it doesn't matter. I just fail to see how society would be better if people had even less responsibility for their actions knowing there were no consequences.

My neighbor got hit by a car 3 years ago. Broken neck, back, legs, ribs... man, she was messed up.

She limps now but she got a $3m settlement.

I don't think she should be in prison, but we need to start laying down the law on people. I'm tired of hearing 3-4 time DUI offenders driving around. I'm tired of seeing kids do anything they want with no consequences. Seriously, you can do just about anything outside of murder as a minor and get off scott free.

Side Story: In the suburbs here, a high school kid knew his neighbors were out of town so he broke in and threw a huge party in their house. They trashed everything, tore about the place, stole stuff, and basically made the house unliveable. The kid got a slap on the wrist, I think 100 hours of community service or something.

That's the reason why this shit happens.

Apparently that's wrong. She should have just said "don't worry about it, accidents happen".

Sorry to hear that , glad she is ok ...

I still think an 16 year old kiddo should not be driving a car , no matter what .

Cut off a hand? Seriously, what punishment is appropriate?

You are comparing that scenario to scratches and bruising? You really think they are anywhere close to the same thing?

Are you drinking?

I'm sure he was mistaken :)

She should not be able to drive a car till she is 21. She should receive a large amount of community service and her parents should be fined for being bad parents.

I'm not really comparing the scenarios. He stated how lawsuits were out of hand and accidents happen. I'm just trying to see if there is anything people should be held responsible for. I'm just tired of people doing stupid shit in this world that hurts others and getting off with a slap on the wrist. Although his fiance was lucky, she could have been killed.

Thats alot of threads. hehe.

don't deny we had problems l0rd juni0r.


if you can solve it in the ends it's cool but still you fucking pissed me off....

thank GOD that your GF not much injured

Bump for you Ronin :)

ooo turns out i was right about u lord junior.

I hope she'll get better soon.

thankfully she wasn't injured.

there is a huge difference in a civil suit where someone was significantly harmed as the direct result of someones negligence and a simple, everyday accident that resulted in bruises.

all you know is that someone got some scrapes and bruises. you know nothing else. you know no facts. you dont even know what happened. you don't know anything about the parents. you don't know anything about the kid...yet you are defending a civil suit against a 16 year old kid as if thats going to do more good than harm. is justice going to be served to see the parents, the kid and all other siblings living on the street because they lost thier house over someone getting some scrapes and bruises? thats a rational solution to make the country a better place to be? more of the same?

will be interesting to see how you feel about the situation when someone is breaking into your house, gets cut on broken glass and then sues you for it. or when you are driving along at the speed limit and someone jumps in front of your car... or maybe you will just be driving casually down the freeway and someone pulls up along side you, trying to get your attention while his buddy in front of you slams on his breaks causing you to hit him and automatically be at fault... then get sued for everything you own... would be interesting to see your views on "being held accountable" then. i am willing to bet that your ideas of "being held accountable" might suddenly become very flexible.

Glad she's ok honey :(
Terrible news, hope she heals fast and complete.

Sorry to hear about that...hope she doesn't do a "Christie Brinkley' on you!!

Glad to hear she's ok, I was a little worried too when I read the title, listen you need to hit me up I want my money.... or at least some sort of contact dammit
