kramadas Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/12/26/toddlers.claim.ap/index.htmlSTAMFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- A 2-year-old model and actor who cut his head at a playground is seeking unspecified lost wages and other compensation from the city. Konrad Mader of Greenwich was running toward a treehouse at a playground November 4 when he crashed into a railing, according to a claim filed last week by his mother and reported Friday by The Advocate of Stamford. The blond toddler received several stitches. Deena Mader, the boy's mother, did not specify how much she is seeking on behalf of her son. In a letter to officials, she demanded compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and a "lost wage amount due to his inability to audition or take modeling or commercial jobs while his head heals." Mader blamed the boy's injury on a green railing, which she said blends in with the landscaping. Mader said the railing should be painted a brighter color. "This accident was preventable had the railings and safety measures been correct at this park, " Mader wrote in her claim. Tom Cassone, the city's director of legal affairs, said his office is investigating the claim. Joe Falzone, a facilities manager in charge of maintaining city parks, said he is not aware of defects in the playground and there are no plans to make changes.

jamiroguy1 Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 Sometimes I wish frivalous lawsuits, obvious one like this at least, should be counter sued for lost court time if they don't prove their case. How screwed up is this kid going to be with parents like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, this is an extreme case of a frivalous lawsuit from someone that is using their kid for money. But let's agree that there are plenty of cases on both sides of the debate where money should or should not be awarded. For example, breast implant malpractice lawsuits.
