More Outrageous Lawsuits

Boy, these people get dumber and dumber... they should be shot for having no common sense!


A college student in Idaho decided to "moon" someone from his fourth story dorm room window. He lost his balance, fell out of his window, and injured himself in the fall. Now the student expects the university to take the fall; he is suing them for "not warning him of the dangers of living on the fourth floor."

A woman was playing golf and hit a shot, which ricocheted off railroad tracks that run through the course. The ball hit her in the nose and she won $40,000 because the golf course had a "free lift" rule (this allows golfers to toss balls which land near the rails to the other side). The woman alleged that because the course allowed a free lift, they were, in effect, acknowledging the rails to be a hazard.

A convicted bank robber on parole robbed a Califoria Savings and Loan branch. The bank robber placed the money roll containing the hidden Security Pac in his front pants pocket. The Security Pac released tear gas and red dye, resulting in second- and third-degree burns, requiring treatment at a hospital. The bank robber sued the bank, the Security Pac manufacturer, the city, the police, and the hospital.

While climbing a mountain, a young man slipped and fell ninety feet and sustained injuries. The mountain rescue unit, which has saved hundreds of lives over the past thirty years, worked with a physician and paramedic to mount a difficult nighttime helicopter rescue. The rescuers probably saved the man's life... but he turned around and slapped them with a $12 million lawsuit.
