Injested, digested and excreted.
Ridiculous. Bogus. Nuisance Lawsuit.
Check this out... The plaintiff is not even identified. I hope she loses and is forced to pay the defendants legal fees as well as her own.
Guy kills himself.
Passenger: hey how can I cash in on this?
Suicide? Wow, points for creativity.
I see a real problem with the element of “foreseeability.” If the employer negligently required the decedent to work in that area, then there might be liability here. That they should have known he was a nut and should have reasonably concluded from that that he was likely to into a running engine is more than a bit of a stretch
If she worked in a sausage factory, I might give her some slack but otherwise she has no beef.
FTA: “She feels like she will be forever traumatized as to by what she saw by this and being so close to it,” Attorney James Wood said.
^^^^
“as to by what she saw” — What?
Plaintiff needs counsel who knows how to speak logically.
When I was in the Navy onboard an aircraft carrier at sea, I watched an airman back into the rotating prop of an E2C Hawkeye. It essentially cut him in half. It was freaky, but I have suffered no lasting effects
President Biden: “no passenger should witness something so tragic. The federal government also has an obligation to try and alleviate the trauma of those who witnessed this horrible event.
Who do I make the check out to?”
It was an accident, for Pete’s sake. The airline wasn’t negligent.
Foreseeability. No personal physical injury. Not a family member.
The words are English, but the composition is a foreign language.
So if she is sussessful, I’m going to volunteer at a suicide hotline and ask the person to just let me know when and where.
I would want to get a look at the movies she watches back home. And the ones she has watched on the airplane.
My guess is that there may even be nastier stuff in her refrigerator. (It is so gross and disgusting how some people live. Does that make me a racist?)
My drilling rig sank in a storm in Venezuela. I had no trauma and went to town and drank beer until we had a new rig. No lose of life.
My rig caught on fire off Nigeria and that did have my attention but due to an expertise was handled and the next day we were in operation. It could have been a disaster.
Piper Field disaster cost the lives of many men in the North Sea where I worked but did not know them. It effected me not but compassion for my fellow workers.
Then was the Alexander Killend disaster. 113 men went down in a storm. I knew a few. I had been on that vessel a few weeks before. It did effect me with sorrow for my working mates. It did not make me want to sue for psychological problems as I had none if I did would not sue. The Killend sinking was truly horrible. Those not captured inside the sinking rig quarter ship found themselves in the North Sea Waters. We had all trained for this, we all knew we had about 3 to 5 minutes of conciseness in that cold water if not wearing a survival suit. They knew they were dead but the lucky ones. They just went to sleep and drowned. Those trapped in the hull of the Alexander Killend went through a slow hell of death. They were the unlucky.
I only know a few of those that died. I do not even remember their names. I will never forget the Alexander Killend.
So this person knows they have PTSD after just over a month from the incident?
