Woman, hit by car, sues Google for faulty directions WOW!
 

Rosenberg fingered her trusted BlackBerry and asked it to tell her just how she might walk between 96 Daly Street and 1710 Prospector Avenue. Her BlackBerry turned to the world's great walking resource, Google Maps. Google Maps suggested that she should, as part of her journey, amble along Deer Valley Drive.

For all of you who have not had the pleasure of strolling there, might I quote papers filed by Rosenberg's lawyers with the Utah courts. These papers describe Deer Valley Drive as "a.k.a. State Route 224, a rural highway with no sidewalks, and a roadway that exhibits motor vehicles traveling at high speeds, that is not reasonably safe for pedestrians."

There is perhaps nothing finer than a roadway that bothers to exhibit motor vehicles. Yet this was not quite the exhibition that Rosenberg had in mind. For during her stroll along State Route 224 aka Deer Valley Drive she was allegedly struck by a car driven by Patrick Harwood.

She's suing Harwood. And she is also suing Google.

wouldn't she be able to zoom in a little more and see there was no sidewalks?

Good for her, I hope she gets a fortune. :food-smil02

I followed a google link and got a virus. How much can I win?

that's ridiculous, these lawsuits are getting dumber each year... I hope she loses and has to pay google's attorney fees... that will teach those golddiggers a lesson... :2 cents:

It's up to the dumbass using the directions to determine the risks. They're the one with eyes on the actual road. So if Google told her to jump off a bridge, she would do that too -- and blame Google. Fuck her, its too bad she didn't die.

One day my lawsuit against the manufacturer of gravity, sunlight, and wind will push through! BLING BLING MOFO!

Honestly, people just keep getting dumber.

If you need the government or Google to tell you not to cross a busy road, then you deserve to get hit. It's called natural selection. :2 cents:

You can't walk on a highway with no sidewalks.

Highways are for cars.

Sidewalks are for people.

I get why she's suing G (even if it's frivolous) but why is she suing the driver who hit her?
