NFT: Woman sues 8 year old nephew

B in ALB : 10/13/2015 12:38 pm
Seems pretty cut and dried to me. He was negligent in giving her a hug and therefore the father (or his homeowner's insurance most likely, right?) must pay her $127,000.

Guilty!

it's a slam dunk if it gets to a jury.

it's all over for the defendant once a jury hears emotional testimony like this:

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.

Well then.
not only suing her nephew  
Greg from LI : 10/13/2015 12:43 pm : link
But her nephew who LOST HIS MOTHER last year. Then there are these gems:

Quote:
But, Connell continued, her life was turned upside down as a result of the injury.

“I live in Manhattan in a third-floor walk-up so it has been very difficult,” she said. “And we all know how crowded it is in Manhattan.”

And then there is the damage the injury has done to Connell’s social life.

“I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she said.


Apparently she walks on her hands up to her third-floor walkup?
Can't. Be. Real.

The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable eight years old under those circumstances would know or should have known that a forceful greeting such as the one delivered by the defendant to the plaintiff could cause the harms and losses suffered by the plaintiff,” the lawsuit claims


Right or wrong, this shit right here is why people think lawyers are the scum of the fucking earth. The fact that someone actually took the time to write this garbage, knowing full well that it's all because an 8-year-old boy was happy to see his aunt on his birthday, is fucking despicable. What kind of shitstain subhuman would take this case?

I hope this wretched bitch slips on dog shit leaving her next dinner party and breaks her fucking hip. Maybe she can slap a lawsuit on the dog if she ever finds it.

where posters who were trial lawyers said that while in the federal court system there really is the possibility of sanctions for filing a frivolous law suit (spurious litigation?) it is much more difficult in state courts. This would seem to be a case in point.

Forget that, I'm trying to see if I can get my nephew to give me a running hug, to see if I fall on my water polo shoulder and ring up the big bucks.

However, after seeing the Mother's funeral announcement, I'm betting she's trying to get the insurance money away from the (possibly) abusive widower.

Highly unlikely. If that were the case wouldn't she be bring action for custody or some sort of conservatorship with respect to the insurance proceeds for the child's benefit?

Make sure it's one of your portly nephews. I bet that will make it almost a slam dunk that you'll get your big payout. And really, who does it hurt other than the home insurance company?

What if he was only abusive to the Mother and there's no evidence he did anything to the kid?

Irrelevant. If she wins she gets to do anything with the proceeds she wishes, including spending it on herself. If she was out to protect the child she could actually strengthen her case by litigating to put the money in a trust or conservatorship to benefit the child.

One said the jury took all of 25 minutes to reach a verdict. My comment- That's probably as long as it took them to go through a plate of hors d'oeuvres.

Second was that all the women named Jennifer Connell are busy changing their names so they won't be asked when they meet people "Are YOU the Jennifer Connell that...."

get medical bills. Not years later when the kids mother has died. And it seemed like the complaints were completely frivolous.
Happened three years ago, mother (her sister ) died last year...  
j_rud : 10/13/2015 7:04 pm : link
Gotta wonder if the sister was syphoning off some money here and there to help out the aunt, and it ended when she passed.

Regardless, woman or not, she needs a nice solid slap upside the head...
