How ridiculous that a judge didn't throw this case out of court. the fact that he was comitting a felony negates his "right" to sue for anything connnected to it.

eww, bed bugs. That's the nastiest thing ever...

Are any of these really real? I can hardly fathom that half of those people didn't simply get laughed out of the courtroom.

I got sued in California for an accident that unfolded thusly. I had leased a car and after the lease was up, the leasing company sent two guys to pick it up. They were apparently clowning around on 101 just south of Santa Barbara and one of them passed the other on the right shoulder, unaware that Caltrans was doing some road work. To make a long story short, he collided with a chemical toilet and the pickup truck towing it. This rolled my former car onto its side, completely blocking both lanes of 101 south just above Carpenteria.

The traffic naturally backed up quickly, soon reaching an overpass on the outskirts of Santa Barbara itself. Some guy came barreling over the top of the overpass almost fast enough to go airborne at the peak. When he saw all the traffic in front of him at a dead stop, he slammed on brakes, went into a skid, crashed through the concrete railings of the overpass, and landed hood first in the back of a open bed railway car below.

Doesn't surprise me at all. That's the price everyone pays in the commercial society.
