Sorry guys, this one is a winner, granted it was in the US where they are gun toting psychopaths but the aunt who sued her 8 year old nephew for jumping into her arms with excitement and injured her is a special kind of retard.

How does this even make it to court. There should be a pre review and a complete throw out. A minor should not be dragged through court for something like this. The aunt is a total retard but the law shouldnt facilitate this retard.

Im wondering did the childs deceased mother leave him a huge sum in a trust fund that the sick bítch is trying to get her greedy little mitts on?

But she (rightly) lost the case, so how would it be the reason? Very glad she lost the case too - although it seems bizarre it even made it to court.

The fact such cases can be lost makes me more convinced of the grounds for claiming in those other cases that are won, which are deemed ridiculous and dubious (without all the facts) by folk here.

shes from ballybrack, enough said

Well not really in fairness - it's just where she's from. I'm sure you mean Ballybrack is a rough enough area (never heard of it in that context myself, unlike numerous other areas of Dublin) but that is a bit of a slur on the majority of people from Ballybrack.

Do you think she's paying both side's legal costs? Do you think she's even paying her own costs?

Ultimately, these costs come back to ordinary householders, either through tax , insurance premiums, Tesco shopping-baskets, or future legal bills, because costs always have to be absorbed somewhere.

I meant that cases like this where the plantiff wins are the reason.

Time for a Autopilot trolly al la Tesla

When my physics teacher in 1968 was doing the acceleration down the plane experiment, he described the model car he had as headless coach:

$113k for a broken wrist. x-ray, slap a cast on it. back in a few month, x-ray, healed up nicely.
You could build a hospital in some countries for that. *slight exaggeration.

I broke my wrist badly 20 years ago, total costs were about US$40k - I had to have an operation, etc.

Fortunately medical insurance covered 80%, but if I had not had insurance I would have been screwed.

Thats pretty shocking. Cost of treatment is another thing we havent really factored. Consultants must be on savage money out there as well as here

I broke my arm horribly in 4 places in gym class at school when I was made walk a balance beam. 1982. My arm looked like a corkscrew and I was made wait in the school office until my father drove from his work to get me to the hospital.

We were made of sterner stuff back then. No compensation required.
