stiffler Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Somebody please shoot the Jurers who award this shit and the people who sue for this shit!!!!!!sorry but this is long, but worth reading to piss everyone off a little:The Stella's are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled coffee> on herself and successfully sued McDonald's. That case inspired the Stella> Awards for the most frivolous successful lawsuits in the United States.> > The following are this year's candidates:> > 1. Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $780,000 by a jury of> her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running> inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably> surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was> Ms. Robertson's son.> > 2. A 19-year-old, Carl Truman of Los Angeles, won $74,000 and medical> expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr.> Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car> when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hub caps.> > 3. Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had> just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the> garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning.> He> couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and> garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr.> Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on> a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the> homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental> anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.> > 4. Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and> medical> expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's> beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award> was> less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a> little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly> with a pellet gun.> > 5. A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster,> Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her> coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had> thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.> > 6. Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued the owner of a> night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to> the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms.> Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid> paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental> expenses.> > > 7. This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma> City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago> motor> home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the freeway, he set the> cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the> back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not> surprisingly, the R.V. left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr.> Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that> he> couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new> motor> home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this> suit,> just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreation> vehicles.> > Ever wonder why our insurance rates have become so outrageously high?> ttle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychosweetie Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 What about that case now w/ those two girls who want to sue McDonalds for making them fat? What is up w/ that? No one told them to shove big macs down their throats. They ate McDonalds all the time claiming they didnt know how fattening it was:idea: . What the hell did they think, it was healthy?
