She gives up all she owns or goes to jail.
Citing cases dating back as far as 1928, a judge has ruled that a young girl accused of running down an elderly woman while racing a bicycle with training wheels on a Manhattan sidewalk two years ago can be sued for negligence.
The ruling by the judge, Justice Paul Wooten of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, did not find that the girl was liable, but merely permitted a lawsuit brought against her, another boy and their parents to move forward.
In a related case, the family of the dead old woman have been found to be assholes.
No pity for the 87 year-old that needed surgery in the last 3 months of her life?
#22 I think many/most people feel, like me, sorry for the unfortunate victim of the accident.
I see people in caualty who have been hurt. Being human involves having sympathy for those who suffer. I feel sorry for hurting people whether it is their fault they are there or not.
I certainly am not sorry for her idiot family who have decided to sue a 4 year old. I reccomend that they are investiated for possible misuse of oxygen. There is reason to suspect watage here…
Most judges were previously lawyers and still associate with lawyers. Lawyers make money with lawsuits. Rulings like this ultimately make more money for lawyers. Its as simple as that.
Seems to me that City and State of New York are Libal For Not requiring Tricycle Operators Training Course, Have PEDESTRIAN WALK RIGHT OF WAY, And Yellow and White lines For Tricels as well for people entering Tricels Right of Way. Seems to me It is the State and City that is at fault for not forseeing the event and taking action. Wake up New York.
