I think I have now seen everything when it comes to stupid lawsuits. I was appalled to read that in Mount Dora, FL a rescue worker is suing the person she saved.
Jennifer X (yes, I am changing her name), an emergency medical technician, responded to a 911 call made by 84-year-old Elizebeth Baker. Sure, she saved the old lady, but now Jennifer X has hit her with a $15,000 lawsuit.
The suit?
Well, apparently when the rescue truck pulled up on the lawn it broke through the lid of an old septic tank. Roland claimed injury from the event and despite already receiving “rescue workers compensation benefits” still wants more money.
So now we need to be worried everything is in order before we call 911?
If I my house is on fire do I need to put it out before the fire truck gets there? Since, if you follow the logic, I could be sued if a fire fighter gets burned putting out the fire? (more…)
