WAIT A MINUTE!.....You mean to tell me that riding a motorcycle can be dangerous??

 

"The couple is seeking $75,000 in the case..."

"Mark's medical bills are over half a million dollars; Pam's is a quarter of a million dollars,"

Have to assume insurance covered the medical bills, the same insurance company would then take every penny of the $75k.

Who wins?

Yep... Dewey, Cheatum, & Howe LLC

 

It's Walmart's fault



kill the lawyer

 

Also note that the lawsuit was filed in the city of Marshall, Harrison county, Texas, not where the motorcycle was purchased or where the accident happened, because Marshall has a reputation as being anti company, when it comes to these kinds of lawsuits. I wish I had been called for this jury.

 

Sounds like a panic stop gone wrong and now they are looking for someone else to place the blame on.

 

WOW, he has much better vision than I do!!! But seriously, I wonder what the real value was as this is obviously a typo.

 

This lawsuit is why motorcycles are bloated, complicated and expensive. Not to mention why I pay more for motorcycle insurance despite having never used it in 47 years.

The unskilled always fug it up for everybody else.

If you ride a motorcycle and don't know how many feet per second you're traveling at 35mph and can't execute emergency braking/swerving, you shouldn't be on the road. ABS or not.

 

Typical tort case. Lawyers will try to find a defendant with deep pockets. They know if they can drag the case on long enough that the company defending their product will settle.

In this case the $75k is merely the damage part of the suit. The real gravy is the penalty phase that a jury may recommend. Here, where the medical bills are reaching 1 million the lawyers are betting,. should this case go to a jury, that they could be awarded multi-million dollars. This would motivate the defendant to offer upwards of a million to make this go away.

Slimy business the law is. Ambulance chasers far outnumber the true advocates in the business. I place the blame directly on the Bar when they allowed attorneys to begin advertising in the late 60's.

Nothing is ever your fault...no matter how stupid, or careless you are.

 

The government could stop all these crap cases in a heartbeat.

All they'd have to do is make both the plaintiff and the lawyer that brought the case to court liable for all court fees if they lose the case.

 

Agreed This doesn't belong in the EVO forum
