Dead Teen Sued for Losing Control of Flying Body Parts

Very interesting analysis.

What about how the woman feels? Should she just suck it up? What if she had no medical insurance? What if she has $10,000.00 (or even $2500!) in medical bills? Should she just absorb those?

Catty- I don't get why you would think the trains would be responsible for what this teen did, but not the teen, himself???

Well I don't see this any different than if say he were driving a car recklessly and died and in the process injured others.

I lived a couple blocks from this train station and rode frequently. My niece looks out her apartment window over this station.

Sue Amtrak??? (By ther way...it isn't Amtrak. It is local urban transportation.) Why?? Because they have "deep pockets"??

Why should I....the traveling public pay higher train fare because someone didn't want to be bothered to realize that you don't win against a train?

I am sorry for his family...and I am sorry for the woman who was injured by his flying body parts...and I am sorry for everyone who has to read about this.

But I am not responsible and should not have to pay.

There's a Bloom County strip that's incredibly apropos for this discussion, I really wish I could find it online so I could post it.

While thinking of suing might sound a bit heartless I have to say that the teen made that choice when he took the risk of playing a racing game with a train. I do feel very sorry for the lady who got hurt, and I'm sure this will probably affect her mentally as well for a while - having body parts flying at you is not the most pleasant thing to have happen to one.

This story reminded me of an article I read about homicide bombers in the Middle East.

There was an Israeli soldier that was on duty when some jackhole blew himself up in the area.

Part if the idiot's skeleton hit the soldier and he spoke to the writer about how he had to be tested for HIV/AIDS for years
because of that threat to his health.

Nothing suprises me anymore.

I want to sue all of you because I opened this thread.

My lawyer will contact you soon.

Richard, you're missing rule one of lawsuits:

Never sue poor people.
