Lawyers are scum of the earth

 

[Rayson1971]

Wouldn't that just fall under workers comp. Accident?

 

[Boat 405]

Not gonna get much traction in trial with any competent judge

 

[cofooter]

I'd counter-sue that dumbass for wasting my time........

 

[Ziggy]

New Yawk laws tend to protect the wrong people even more so than California, if you can believe that shit.
Care&custody laws do exist.

Not all, but a big chunk.........

Hmmmm so a Guy goes to "Acme lube" for an oil change on his Jeep and .......

Actually looks like Michigan. Very strange to me.

Imagine being the wife and parents of the guy that was killed. You'd want some compensation. Not sure how the lawyer is the problem here.

Unless it's a liberal, dem or rhino judge nothing surprises me anymore there is no such thing as facts or truth!!!!!

 

[Chili Palmer]

Wait, it happened a the mechanic’s emplyoyer’s place of work, that means that the employer did not provide a safe work environment for him to work in and for hiring and allowing an inexperienced operator move the customer’s vehicle. Sounds like a lot of workplace violations here.

 

[rivermobster]

Why do they have to sue anyone??

I was a dealership mechanic my whole life. I was always provided health and life insurance.

If the family didn't take advantage of that, it's on them.

Fuck that lawyer. Total POS.

Certainly they do........if their laws prevent sueing those responsible there is something askew though.

 

[QC22]

I can imagine in Michigan there are very favorable laws for vehicle businesses.

That’s why you can’t sue the employer other than gross negligence or intentional malfeasances. In CA anyways, workers comp goes a long way to protect the employer. For broken bones and that sort of thing workers comp does a great job of protecting workers but in cases of grave bodily injury and death, workers comps severely limits the workers compensation.

It's called the ghetto lottery. You die giving birth at Cedar Sinai and are black, they are racists. Sue for $10M bucks. You slander Johnny Depp, he sues for $100M. You shoot a cop, and he returns fire, you sue for $10M. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Exactly ....

If you call the Jeep dealership "Acme lube", then yes.

 

[mbrown2]

And that's what is wrong with the US... baseless litigious claims and lack of accountability.... Look for the deepest pockets....People wonder why insurance is so much.

Can the dealer sue the lawyers mom for gross negligence for not aborting him?

Funny, I hear this a lot in the UK. The flip side is they don't trust anybody about anything. Documents and legal requirements up the wazoo. This cuts both ways.

Public transportation in the Dallas metro area, including Plano and other suburbs, is provided by DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). We pay a 1% sales tax for their shit system.

Anyway, the Oak Cliff area in South Dallas is where their primary clientele "stays". When a DART bus is involved in an accident, no matter how trivial, all of the passengers on the bus have instantly won the Oak Cliff lottery.

Cha-Ching.

In Cali yes, assuming the employer had WC. That's the trade-off for paying WC premiums - injured worker cannot sue.

If no WC, then the injured worker could file a claim against the State (Uninsured Employers Benefit Trust Fund), AND sue the employer. And they usually do since comp attorneys do not make as much money as they can in civil court.

Sorry, went right over my head.

The car is insured by the owner. The owner allowed the dealership to service his car. The car hit the mechanic and killed him.
The attorney could be sued for malpractice if he didn’t go after the owner’s insurance.
It will all be settled by all of the insurance companies that are involved.

WTF??? So if I take an unloaded gun to a shop for service/repair/cleaning, and an employee of that shop decides to insert a loaded magazine and load a round into the chamber, and the gun goes off in his hand because he doesn't know how to properly operate the device, and another employee is killed, it's the gun Owner's fault!? You cannot be serious here.

I bet the intent is to have the car owner then sue the dealership. Stupid.

Wait, he is not responsible for his own actions, you have no choice but to sue RDP

Your gun doesn’t have required liability insurance. You might have gun owner insurance, but the law doesn’t require it for ownership/ operation.
I know it seems ridiculous, but the lawyer, and LL above, are not wrong.
It’s the liability laws that are skewed.

Too late.
The RDP mob has ruled.
This lawyer will be strung up with the you tube killers (suspected) parents, the hit and run driver that airmailed that little girl, and the Lubbock porch shooter!

Liability insurance covers the vehicle, regardless of the operator?

Dealership has their own insurance

Mine does, if I give permission to operate.

Good I hope the lawyer is sued!!!! Fuck em
Insurance companies and lawyers have ruined this country with garbage like this.

 

[TeamGreene]

It's a matter of deep pockets or lack there of. 19yr old actually responsible empty pockets. Dealership equally responsible is currently sliding on a technicality. Car owners insurance company, pockets full of $ and easiest target for the ambulance chaser.

But if you can't squeeze blood out of a rock, such as my financial situation, maybe you should sue my neighbor, since he is loaded!

The bottom feeder is really missing the boat here. He should sue the oil company that provided the crude to the refinery that made the gas, the refinery, the trucking company that shipped the fuel to the gas station, the gas station owner for providing the gas, the state and local governments for provided the road to get the jeep to the dealership, the receptionist at the dealership and most of all the clutch manufacturer.


Or go straight to the source and sue the DD who, ultimately, was the source of the crude because, hey, he started it...

Nope, whoever made that ignition key is the real culprit!

Would you like to settle out of court for 3 easy payments of $19.95?
