Woman Files Lawsuit After Being Saved From Drowning

A woman is suing the town whose police divers saved her from drowning.

Barbara Connors is suing the town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut, saying she was rescued too late to prevent serious brain damage.

The Massachusetts woman was in her son-in-law's sport utility vehicle when it jumped a curb, went through a chain-link fence and plunged into the Connecticut River.

Connors was unconscious and in cardiac arrest when divers pulled her from the water.

The son-in-law escaped the sinking vehicle and was picked up by the crew of a passing boat. Connors is also suing him.

Among other things, the suit claims the town failed to provide appropriate guardrails and equipment needed by police divers.

It says the 75-year-old woman has brain damage and must be cared for in a nursing home for the rest of her life.

:Oh crap

wow people are stupid

I'm sorry, but I must repeat myself:

Only in (lawsuit-obsessed) America ...

shame.

Sounds like she is a bit retarded already..they should have let the ungrateful bitch bite it

You got it man :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
The divers should have left her there.

That's just pathetic:(

They should throw the old bitch back in there... :321GFY

75y.old? die fucking bitch

i dunno about Connecticut but if they were in California theyd surely win. to bad they didnt drive into an active volcano instead

shes trying to make her family have money when shes dies...

Looks like that's the hidden agenda. Bitch like that should be left drowning.

She just want some stupid publicity.

thats fucking retarded. what a bitch

How fucked up can you get ?

These sort of "crazy" litigations happen in other countries too.

heh, should have let her stay there then. stupid people

It is stupid true, but I bet we would all try and sue too, if it happened to us.

damn shame

You're probably right, but here in Canada the only news we see is from America.

What a bitch :disgust

Becasue we own you

Hey, I don't think anyone's going to argue that. The only one who wins in a lawsuit is the lawyer.

Shit happens. That's life.

She should be sued, because it is people like that who make others passive in an emergency situation. Either because they don't want to "interfere" or they are afraid of doing something wrong.

She deserved that brain damage....

I hate people.

everyday.. the lawsuits ya read about
just amaze me.. how frivilous and yet.. many win

Hopefully a new generation of Canadians in office will change that. I see the relationship getting worse if the US keeps the "fuck the world I want your oil" attitude.

Throw the bitch back in!

Got to Love america. That is why I would never be a doctor. They get the most lawsuits.

I don't think she deserved the brain damage but I do agree. Its situations like this that really make people hesitate to act in an emergency situation.

She can sue all she wants, she wont win this one.

Shoot the bitch - shoot the lawyer that took the case then shoot all of her off-spring

Gotta stop that "stupid" gene pool in it's tracks!

she should be thankful she was save from drowning...

:disgust :disgust :disgust

Throw her back in the river

Hope the vile ungratefull bitch falls down the stairs and finishes herself off

I am speechless

75 yrs old ............another frivolous lawsuit , now if the let her die , would they have sued as well ...... bunch of bullshit :2 cents:

i would loooove to throw her back in!
