Question for the lawyers - is an 8 year old responsible for his actions?“The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable eight years old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff,"
It is possible. Under the common law, anyone 7 or under is not responsible, and anyone 14 or over is. Between 7 and 14, they look at what the reasonable person of that age would do - which is why the complaint is pleaded like that.Pruitt wrote:Question for the lawyers - is an 8 year old responsible for his actions?“The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable eight years old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff,"
I was guessing it was also about sucking money out of the parents' estate?Steve of phpBB wrote:It is possible. Under the common law, anyone 7 or under is not responsible, and anyone 14 or over is.

I'm sure it's not really about blaming the kid for anything, but rather getting insurance coverage for medical treatment, pain and suffering, etc.

Man sues city of San Francisco after getting hit on head by giant pine cone
Sounds horrible, but this strikes me as one of those situations where no one is really at fault. Unless you can expect the tree owners to remove cones over a certain size, or fence off all areas with big trees, there is no negligence. It's too bad for the guy, but that's it.Shirley wrote:Damn, a 16 pound pine cone?sancarlos wrote:This isn't hilarious. But, it is pretty weird.
Man sues city of San Francisco after getting hit on head by giant pine cone
Lawyers for a New York City woman who sued her 12-year-old nephew for injuring her while excitedly greeting her say Connecticut law forced her to go to court over her medical bills.
A jury on Tuesday rejected Jennifer Connell's lawsuit seeking $127,000. She says she broke her wrist when the Westport, Connecticut, boy jumped into her arms at his eighth-birthday party, causing her to fall.
Connell's law firm says her nephew's parents' insurance company offered her $1 and she had no choice but to sue to pay medical bills. They say she was never looking for money from him.
Peter Kochenburger is an insurance law specialist at the University of Connecticut School of Law. He says state law typically requires those claiming injury to sue the individual responsible.

Eugenie Bouchard was the No. 25 ranked player in the women's singles bracket before the Sept. 4 mishap.
After winning a mixed-doubles match, Bouchard went to the women's locker room where she took a tumble in the physiotherapy room where players soak in ice baths, according to the suit filed Wednesday in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Bouchard, who is the top ranked female player in Canada, "sustained a severe injury to her head, including, but not limited to a concussion," the suit states.
Since she was injured, Bouchard has been forced to withdraw from several tournaments and her ranking has plunged thirteen spots "and is likely to continue to drop," according to the suit.
WHO THE FUCK CAN DRINK $17 WORTH OF SODA?!?!?!Baloney wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 12:22 pm A tourist is suing the parent company of Universal Studios for "deceptive" business practices over the theme park's unlimited soda refills.

If you're being serious, that's a loaded question. Obviously no one can at cost (pennies per refill), but I suspect the sodas cost at least about $5 if you get them individually, probably more, so it only takes drinking three or four over the course of a day to recoup the cost, which isn't unreasonable/ridiculous for a full 10+-hour day at a theme park.Pruitt wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 12:30 pmWHO THE FUCK CAN DRINK $17 WORTH OF SODA?!?!?!Baloney wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 12:22 pm A tourist is suing the parent company of Universal Studios for "deceptive" business practices over the theme park's unlimited soda refills.

Alright, then that makes sense.
Yeah, that was a particularly good one. Newhart still has it, I love when he acts like an asshole. So funny hearing the slow talking dull eyed uber-niceguy say things that are bitingly mean.

Jesus, that was just sad to read. I wonder if he went to law school on a mission to file these lawsuits. Reminded me a union attorney I had to deal with for years. He was a Customs inspector, fired for gross incompetence and he was completely convinced that he was a superstar and setup by his manager. He went to law school solely to work for the union and get back at management. He was a fucking awful attorney, and got his ass handed to him every time. Judges and arbitrators mocked his baseless cases and he'd stumble and stammer in response. It was always sad to watch him, because he knew he was failing, and still had a passion to get back at the Agency.rass wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 9:30 am In bizarre lawsuit, Yankees’ failed prospect says Derek Jeter ruined his career

I heard Howard Stern doing a segment on Pornhub's videos for the blind a few weeks ago. I wonder if this lawsuit is what caused them to put up videos for the blind. The narrators were horrendous. Just describing the scenes in a completely unsexy way, focusing on stupid details that nobody cares about. I'd think it'd be sexier just to listen to the actors and the natural sounds, rather than some idiot trying to describe the background or the camera angles. Unless you recently went blind, you wouldn't have a concept of the camera angles anyways. Not going to look for a clip on my work computer, but it was funny.Pruitt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:25 am Pornhub sued by deaf man over adult video site's alleged lack of subtitles: report
