Cop who fell on the job sues family of baby who almost drowned


In January, 1-year-old Joey Cosmillo wandered into the backyard and fell into the family pool. When his mother hauled him out, he wasn't breathing. Rescuers were able to bring him back to life, but he suffered severe brain damage and cannot walk, talk or even swallow.

Now, his family faces another burden: One of the rescuers, Casselberry police Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn, is suing, alleging the family left a puddle of water on the floor that afternoon, causing her to slip and fall

our civil legal system sucks ass. total embarassment to the country.

OK, that sounds like a fucked up situation.

If she really is having these problems then the city/county that she works for should take care of her since this happened on the job, but to sue the people you are going there to help is pretty low.

Says she was placed on leave and then dropped the suit. Sometimes you really have to wonder what these people are thinking.

100% scum

That's pathetic. It said that: "While she was on medical leave, Pavlis said, the city's insurer paid her medical bills and provided disability checks.

Eichhorn, a 12-year department veteran, would not discuss the suit. Her attorney said those benefits, paid by the city's workers' compensation carrier, were not enough. The suit seeks an unspecified amount of money."

The judge should throw her case out of court and then revoke the benefits that she already received.

no fucking doubt

yea man, it's kind of like something you would only do :disgust

Filing suit != winning the suit.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything... it's the ultimate freedom of expression. :2 cents:

The system isn't the embarrassment, imho - it's fucked up individuals that are.

WTF! She's an officer! On duty. Accidents happen. She was well paid for all of her inconveniences and medical bills.

How can you live with yourself!? really the scum of the earth.

I'd like to see where this is going. Keep us posted please.

It's just sad that at the center of it all is a little boy who's going to be disabled for the rest of his life =(

Doesn't it give you confidence to call the police in an emergency? :Oh crap

No where else in the world.

its my fucking home, i can have all the puddles of water i want

:321GFY

Yea really. Her big complaint is that it's likely she will develop arthritis, like that is so rare. :disgust
