Bicyclist sues child roller-skater over accident

[Details]

In my imaginary world, I'm going to choose to believe this lawsuit has made it to court so the judge can spend some time yelling at the idiot doctor, find him completely at fault for the accident, and award damages to the girl's family.


It's pretty obvious - he's overtaking her, he's older, she's a child - no matter which way you look at it, the accident is his fault.

 

[mfmangel1]

No she did not pull out between 2 cars.
He drove aroud the block and passed her once ... then did the second pass while he yelled and belled...
Can we all say A**hole??

LOL!!!! Your phrase "yelled and belled"!

The doctor felt the need to yell and bell the child once he was too close upon her.
You shouldn't yell and bell someone unless you are at a safe distance to pass them.

There should be a yell and bell law passed!

LOLOL I m not so sure we need another law.. unless its simple like...
Its illegal to be a flippin moron??

Paladin, your right I do have to much free time.. (although his email was listed and easily found on a link from here.....)

Its nice to have free time ...Ok wait... really is there any such thing as to much free time???

This guy is such a looser!!!!!!!!

My husband was in a similar situation many years ago. We were in Michigan and he was training for a road race when up ahead of him was a 6-7 y.o. girl riding he bike on the wrong side of the road. My husband said by the time he saw her he had two choices #1 run her over (which he said at the speed he was going would have killed her) or #2 run his bike off the rode. He chose #2 totally destroyed his bike his body looked like hamburger but never ever did he blame the child. We look back at it now and laugh. We had nothing to clean him up with but Listerine. Man did it burn like the devil. He was screaming and carrying on like you would not believe. The wounds were scabbed over within 5-6 hours. Now we use Listerine as an antiseptic all the time. It was amazing!!!!!

Admit it Sleuthin....you had fun making DH squirm and scream like a little girl. Isn't that every wifes fantasy as some point in time, esp after you have had to ask him to close the lid for the 20th time in one week? :crazy:

Women should lift the lid when they're finished. :hand:

 

[sleuthin4fun]

To tell you the truth it was the funniest thing ever!!!!!!

When I decided to use the Listerine I handed him a wash cloth and said"here bite this." You would not believe the sound that was coming out of him.
My brother was in the other room rolling on the floor laughing. I had to leave the bathroo on occasion just so I would not laugh in front of him. I almost wet my pants!!!!

I have never understood why they call women the 'weaker sex'. I have heard grown men scream like little girls when you try to remove a splinter or use iodine on a cut.

Curious, would you please SHUSH!!! Women started that, to get men to do stuff they think is their idea. My Grandmother told me "Never learn to milk a cow, then you'll be expected to do it!" And it's true. If you tell men you are a strong, capable woman, they'll hang on the couch and be lazy!

Man's work:

1. Anything Heavy.
2. Anything Dead.
3. Anything that SHOULD BE dead.
4. Anything gross.
5. Anything I DO NOT want to do.

Woman's work:
Everything else.


If there is a hot, sweaty, dirty and sunburned man mowing my lawn, I am not too proud to bring him lemonade and a cool washcloth for his brow. If there is a guy struggling to install a refrigerator I bought that is too small for the cabinet hole so he has to cut away some of my cabinet to make it fit, I will not tell him to stop cursing - no, I will massage his sore muscles and bring him a beer. If there is a guy who will scoop up my dead dog from where it dropped, and dig a four foot deep hole in the middle of the night to bury her so I don't have to watch - I will babysit his children and cook him a wonderful meal. Yes, I am not too proud to wait on a man hand and foot... and be his heroine... after he does the crap work for me.

I don't know, maybe it's 'cause I'm single. ;-)

1. Listens to good music. Check.

2. Loves animals. Check.

3. Appreciates a good man. Check.

I think I love you.

I totally agree.

Another one for the frivolous lawsuit books! I feel awful for the girl and her family and sad that things like this are becoming so prevalent.

Our leashed 20 pound chihuahua barked at our neighbor's dog - her aggressive dog that she let roam around our complex unleashed and growled and threatened everyone. This dog lunged at and tried to attack my dog and husband and she couldn't control it. Her dog tripped her with her own leash while trying to bite my husband (the one time this thing was leashed) and she sued US! She threw her doggie waste bag towards my husband and he fell on it trying to get away from her and her crazy dog. She went to the doctor over a month after the fact, our attorney caught her lying in court about a previous injury and the judge said that since the amount wasn't too big and she "may" have been injured that we had to pay. :bang:

People are SUE HAPPY and out of control! I'm off to write a letter to this doctor's hospital as well.

Heck, I'd appreciate even a lousy man if he will go camping, hiking, kayaking and understand that housekeeping is not priority over watching a sunset on a river. Know where I can find that? Oh yeah, and he doesn't have to worship the ground I walk on... only me. ;-)

The jury did the right thing.

http://www.dailyrecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007703050380

The poor girl missed five days of school for this and Dr. Jackass wasn't in the court room for the verdict.

 

[Buzz Mills]

Your Honor, is it OK to refer to the Doctor as a Jackass.

No, that is completely unacceptable.

Well, your honor, could I refer to a Jackass as a Doctor.

Well, yes, I think you you could.

Your Honor, in the case of Doctor Dlugi............................

 

[JanetElaine]

Buzz, that's hilarious!

I'm glad the jury saw this jerk for what he is. I hope the Ellis family will at least be reimbursed for all their expenses... and is it possible to hold Dr. Jackass in contempt of court for not showing? That dude and his behaviour annoy me to no end. :furious:

<snip from link above>
"Deliberating just 15 minutes, a Morris County civil jury at 4 p.m. today declared that a Chester Township teenager was not to blame in 2003 when she collided with a bicycling physician while riding her in-line skates.>
<snip again>
"Juror Leo Redmond of Rockaway said he believed the girl's testimony over Dlugi's at the trial, and was surprised the case got so far."

I think this states everyones sentiments!

 

[curious1]

It's nice to see common sense win every now and then.


Wonder if dear dr didn't show up for the verdict because of all the mail/e-mail/phone calls he must have been getting. Wonder if he was finally embarrassed about what he did and knew he would lose and did not want to show is face. :loser:

Maybe he aimed at a much larger kid on his way there, and is back in the hospital....

 

[curious1]

Now that I think about it Glitch....he was probably at the fertility clinic helping to make more kids he can sue in the future. :crazy:
