| _______________________________ [Jul 12,2009 3:25pm - Seth ""] They left the man hole unattened and open.. wouldn't you wnat money for that? if she got hit by a car then she should die. but I would go for htemoney.. it is the city responsability for public safety.. Dah!! |
| _______________________________ [Jul 12,2009 3:30pm - Pires ""] And it's you're own responsibility to make sure you don't fall in any fucking holes in the street and to watch where you're walking...DAH!! |
| _______________________________ [Jul 12,2009 4:30pm - Seth ""] So should the girl pay the men for the scratches and falling and the town pay for leaving a hole open in the ground.. DO you sue the city for pot holes? y ou could? Dah! Do you sue the city when you get drunk and fall and hurt yourself or the beer company? I bet if you fell in the hole and the city did not follow protocol you would want money too! Or if like the tunnel killing that woman and they sued it was badly built.. they sued they have every right to! Dah... they fucked up on the roof and they fucked up with leaving a open pot hole..Dah! |
| ________________________________ [Jul 12,2009 5:13pm - zyklon ""] How much she'd get those scratches? $20 |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 12,2009 5:29pm - spaldino ""] you cant file a lawsuit if you arent actually injured. her mom looks like something out of Beetlejuice. oh no! a cat scratched me... im going to sue it's owner. 10 bucks says that they file a lawsuit because the scratches will leave "scars". people wonder why no one gives a fuck about the "justice system" in this country. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2009 6:15pm - the_reverend ""] HER ACCENT IS FUCKING TERRIBLE. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 12,2009 6:16pm - the_reverend ""] he mom doesn't look human. I think it's more like one of the changing to a wolf scene's from teen wolf. |

Dah... they fucked up on the roof and they fucked up with leaving a open pot hole..Dah! dude, she was texting and fell in the hole. she is a fucking moron, regardless of the hole being there. its attitudes like this that have turned people into a giant walking joke, the accountability has to be on the dumb fuck who was too self-absorbed to notice A GIANT GAPING HOLE IN THE GROUND. we're not talking about a ceiling that collapsed due to gross negligence that resulted in death here, we're talking about someone whose image was soooo important that she couldn't even walk correctly. |

When the driver swerved into the breakdown lane to avoid the ladder, they were hit from behind by an 18-wheeler. he's got scars on his bicep, ear, neck and the payout was like $3K. not really worth it to have scars for 60 years. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 9:55am - XmikeX ""] Face it folks. She'll either win the law suit, or the city will settle for a shitload of shutup cash. If I had that kind of payday coming just for being a moron I'd do it too. |

"He mother says workers told her they left the manhole open and unattended for just seconds while they went to fetch some cones from their truck." She has the right to follow a lawsuit, even if she wasn't hurt. She could receive millions for this due to the potential liability involved. you DON'T ever leave a manhole unattended, especially in an urban environment with lots of people around. It is 100% the construction company's fault, and they'll get sued. We do tons of NY Contractors here and I won't be surprised if I'll see this pop up on my desk. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:03am - arilliusbm ""] same thing goes for a supermarket. You're texting, walking along and slip on some spilt apple juice, who's fault is it? The person texting or the store's fault for not having a safe store to shop in? Sounds ridiculous, but it's never the person's fault in general liability situations like this. If the company/store had the means to clean it up and employees on the job, THEY are liable for the protection of the customers, no matter what the customer does. Of course, if the customer gets hurt on purpose (happens all the time so people can get money) then they'd have to examine the evidence in court. people, it's not hard taking advantage of situations for money. I'd suggest that if anyone sees an unattended manhole in MA, fall down it and bust an ankle, then sue for potential loss of life. Simple money |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:07am - arilliusbm ""] her chances of winning are slim due to lack of injuries, but I'm pretty sure she could at least try and go foward with this. of course she'll probably state that she was "mentally" scarred from the situation. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:27am - xmikex ""] It won't even get to court. They'll settle. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:29am - the_reverend ""] I would sue too. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:29am - arilliusbm ""] things would be much different if she was hurt. in fact, she's an idiot for not hurting herself if she wasn't hurt. seriously. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:31am - Yeti ""] bah, she is an idiot and should plunge in head first next time. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:32am - arilliusbm ""] note to everyone that reads this: if you fall at a store, down a manhole, or anything where someone else is responsible for safety, PLEASE HURT YOURSELF. YOU'LL GET MONEY |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:35am - Yeti ""] i just don't see it the way everyone else does. i mean if something fell off of a roof and landed on her head, that is one thing. but when people slip at a grocery store, fall down a manhole, or something that is a result of them just not paying attention, i have no sympathy. especially in this case where she was fucking texting. "i got hurt because i'm stupid, but i'm going to sue you because you should have been paying attention to the fact that i'm stupid". it just doesn't make sense to me. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:37am - arilliusbm ""] yeti: you're 100% right morally, but 100% wrong by what really happens. everything has a liability attached to it. insurance companies are very evil corporations, and take your money based off of the probably of some texting idiot slipping at your store. if you pay for it, you are required to maintain it, because a claim is the last thing you want. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:40am - Yeti ""] no i understand, its a lottery for idiocy, i just meant it as more of a "unfortunately this is the world we live in" sort of thing. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 10:43am - arilliusbm ""] yea man. add it to the list of how fucked up society is these days. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 11:00am - reimroc ""] what a tard. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 13,2009 11:51am - pam ""] Funny, but you can't leave manholes open...that's like basic public safety. Still funny though. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 13,2009 11:53am - the_reverend ""] I vote we leave all manholes in strong island open. her accent is like finger nails on a chalk board. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 13,2009 3:11pm - yummy ""] Alexa's mom says it doesn't matter that her daughter was text-messaging, the manhole should not have been left open. The family plans to file as lawsuit. Wow, thats pretty good. Have you ever found yourself in a manhole? Blame it on text messaging! |
