$75,000+$1 million seriously? What ever happened to pay my hospital bills and we're good? I must say I miss those days even if I'm too young to remember them.
 
On her way home she got on the interstate going the wrong way. It took half a dozen state troopers armed with spike strips to get her to stop. She will be filing suit against Ford for manufacturing a vehicle that was unable to tell that she doesn't have the mental faculties to operate a car.
 
Most 83 year olds whine about how rotten people are now compared to upstanding people were in their day. I guess she's just trying to stay with the times! :p

But really, she should be ashamed. I bet it's her EVIL 50-Something BABY BOOMER kids that talked her into suing.

If you can't tell the difference between GLASS and AIR, you need to check into the old folk's home. I know a fly that could be her roommate.
 
By the way, has anybody ever seen anybody in their 80's in an Apple store before? I do not recall ever seeing someone of that demographic.
 
Wow, just wow. Her pride took a hit and so she's suing the company with deep pockets.

Wonder if they video of her impact? Would be pretty funny if it showed her texting when she hit ... :D
 
I wouldn't be surprised if she won. The legal system is really messed up. There have been cases where burglars break into homes and get hurt in the process and then successfully sue the owner of said home.
 
I really hope she pays Thousands in legal fees and loses
She probably has a contingency attorney that gets 33% if they win and nothing if they lose. If the case actually goes to trial, it will either be a fast process or drag out for years.
 
$75k for a broken nose?

More like $75k for a broken nose plus one heck of a nose job while they're at it. Anyone whose medical expenses total $75k to tend solely to a broken nose needs some new healthcare providers in their life.
 
This is the same legal system that allows Apple to sue others. I hope Granny gets her $1 million plus damages and court costs. You go girl!
 
See what happens when old people abandon their scooters.

Lawsuits follow. :rolleyes:

Yep, sad but true. I also think the judges in those cases need relieved since they obviously can't judge correctly.

You don't want this type of suing. Sure Apple sues a lot over patents and IP but this kind of frivolous lawsuit can happen to anyone. If she ran into your car for example and tried to sue you the way the U.S. legal system is you could be in trouble.

I personally think people who create frivolous lawsuits should spend a few weeks in jail to make them think twice before attempting to commit fraud.
 
sometimes there are things that should be forbidden into court, whats next suing the government for bad weather?
 
So I guess those white stickers are actually not sticking to the glass but are magically floating in the air..?
