And her personality wouldn't have accomplished that?
I hope that nephew never goes near her again, for HIS sake! After all she put him and his parents through for being so horrible as to be a KID happy to see a beloved family member, best to avoid loving her or dealing with her.
I feel sorry for the kid, and for his late mother, who had this going on at the end of her life."Crazy may always be open for business, but on the full moon, it has buy one get one free specials." - WishfulSpirit

“The injuries, losses and harms to the plaintiff were caused by the negligence and carelessness of the minor defendant in that a reasonable 8-year-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 claimed.explanationexcuse for uncontrolled children destroying merchandise, but this is a case where it truly applies. As for what I bolded in the quotation from the story linked by the OP, they're slightly less common than unicorns or honest used car salesmen.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Quoth iradney View PostA hurt wrist makes walking up the stairs difficult? What, she walks on her hands?
If it's a walk up, I'd not count on the stairs being the greatest. So she'd need to use the hand rail. If it's on that side, it'd be a problem.
And even if there are hand rails on both sides, she'd have trouble if she was carrying anything (groceries, for example).

It seems like there is more to this story. The family's insurance company did deny her claim(she's had two surgeries so far, expensive) and sometimes the only way to get to an insurance company is to sue the policy holder. (The laws are like that to protect big corporations.)Last edited by flyonthewall; 10-15-2015, 06:23 PM.

Quoth MoonCat View PostBut why sue the kid? Legally, he's not responsible for things like that because he's a minor. Why not sue the parents for not supervising the kid or something along those lines?
i mean which would you do, struggle to pay thousands of dollars of medical bills or sue the relative responsible to have the expense paid under their insurance?
this happened before obama care after all.

It was a homeowners insurance company. The kid lived there.
She would've just sued the insurance company for the money they owed her but in her state the law doesn't allow that. So she had to sue the person who did the accident(the boy) so his insurance company(insurance on the house) would pay it.
IMO, this is another example of corporations screwing over the little guy
