WOW screwed with again

This topic needed a kick in the tail so....

I read in newsday that a woman won a 13 million dollar law suit against a town for an single car auto accident. She drove off the road in bad weather and hit a tree.....

Yes she was hurt ( she did get stopped by a tree ) but how is a town responsible for a single auto accident.

Rob, I got to believe although it was a single car accident there must have been negligence on the town’s part relating to previous incidents / accidents. Let’s face it, any town attorney would not just roll over and hand 13million over. The woman’s attorney must have had overwhelming evidence proving to a judge and jury that there was ample time for the town to correct a potential accident. This is of course IMHO…
 
Brad,
ur probably right .... 13 million dollars ..... Blows my mind.... When does it stop...
 
According to the article, there were numerous accidents there and a judge in a previous case ruled that stretch of road to be unsafe. Someone else was awarded $3million for an accident in the same spot.
 
She must have been very seriously injured to get $13 million.

WTF, I go away for 10 days and you guys are getting spanked by Les and sent to NBR. What the hell happened????
 
"She must have been very seriously injured to get $13 million."

Yup,
I woulden't trade place with her if they offered me a billion dollars.

I think I read she will need something like 8 more surgeries.

Welcome back... I love Aruba also.. I would do the ABC, but in the BCA order SCUBA diving is a bit better in Bonaire and Curaçao, but in Aruba we stayed a few years in a row at Hyatt after the diving.
 
Ok so explain to me how a road becomes defective .... and the driver is unable to adapt ....

Hogan we are so screwed.... its like we got VD or something...

Walt... I showed serious restraint in NBR..... I could have salted an old wound .. but i let it lay..... I think a cash payment to me is called for ....

I'll second Bonaire but all we did was stop in A for the airport. Hopped over to B from there. We stayed at Harbor Village. Did a drift snorkel around quite a bit of Kline Bonaire and some scuba. I think it was from the North end all the way around to the East end.
It was kinda dead there at night tho.
