    This man who is suing is an IDIOT. A GUT HOOK is designed for OPENING THE BELLIES OF HUNTED ANIMALS like deer, NOT for cutting fabrics and cloth bags and so on and so forth. This case should be thrown out. HE is responsible for his own actions.

    People like this make me sick. This clown was in a hurry and his hands partially numb from the cold. He was familiar with the knife and should have known its characteristics. He had no way to project a victory and has shown no damages. Hopefully, the denial of liability will be defended. Just another loser trying make a quick buck. You have to have a few screws loose to enter this race in the first place.

    Let’s take it one at a time. First, negligence and liability.There is an assumption of risk when purchasing a honed blade instrument. The purchaser chose the type/model knife because of certain features and it is his responsibility to familiarize himself with the proper use. If there was a design flaw at most there would be co-liability. Second, damages. Gee if the bus hadn’t been late I could have purchsed that lottery ticket and been a winner, I willsur the bus company. that makes as much sense as this jokers cliam that but for the injury he would have won. So leaving aside the liability aspect there can be no tort action as there were no definable damages (other than possibly his medical bills and even that would be apportioned).
