There was no paved roadway leading to this pond so why should there have been a barrier? Apparently, the driver was incredibly stupid by leaving the van in NEUTRAL allowing it to roll. All she had to do was put it in “park”. The survivors are obviously not satisfied with the auto liability limits so they’re chasing the deep pockets. If this doesn’t get tossed beforehand, I wouldn’t be too worried to try the case.
And the lawyer that filed this frivilous case should be disbarred and and placed on community service for 2,000 hours, cleaning up the cages at the zoo. Let the lowlife ambulance chaser work on the bottom of the food chain for once.
Let’s just hope the IJ keeps us up to date on this one. I remember a case wherein a family sued an oven manufacturer because the oven door wasn’t strong enough for their child to use as a trampoline. Amazing what people sue over and what bottom feeding lawyers take on (anything).
the only person liable here is the van driver/owner/operator. of course these greedy families only go after the deep pockets. so typical of entitlement pigs.
“Michelle McIntosh’s mother, Veronica Plummer, said 2-year-old David was a bright, energetic boy who had a fascination with pretending to drive. The boy’s father said his son sometimes got out of his car seat.
“Probably one of the kids was eager to get out of the car and touched the gear or something,” David McIntosh said.”
(this David is the father of the driver and the 2 year old David who died in the accident)
i know that this is something they really need to look at. if the judge or jury finds this as NAF, then the lawyer and his party he represents should be both doing community service. granted there is a loss of life and we can’t give that back. but responsibility that we show as adults is definately rubbing onto our children. problem is the lawyers are looking at money money money, even if they loose, they will end up getting money from their clients. it’s a shame!
thanks for the update on the notice of no parking. this clearly states that the individual is responsible. i know we mourn and grief over the loss of life, but it can get ridiculous when folks just are looking at ways to remove the responsibility. they want someone else to payup for their own mistakes.

This will probably lead to to personal lines asking if the pond or river next to the house is fenced.
I smell GREED!!!
I am certain there was no auto insurance in place.

I doubt the shameless whores in suits care.

I’m afraid not. The rational, intelligent and logical folks are responding. The potential jury members are watching watching Jerry Springer.
