Hope they get it!
"It is also preparing a lawsuit against Arizona militia and vigilante groups that it says have been making illegal arrests and using excessive force against undocumented immigrants."
Bring it on!
Mind boggling.
Was it Dewy, Cheatum, Phukus & Howe?
Better put warning labels on garbage trucks so they are not confused with a tour bus.
This was NOT the trailer manufactures fault. The smugglers should have bought the right model. "The Illegal Alien Smugglers" model would have been the right choice.
I want to be on that jury. Where do I apply?
Next we'll be seeing lawsuits from the families of suicide bombers against the places that they blew up.
They should have used a livestock trailer. Plenty of ventilation in those! Plus they have a nice distinctive ambience.
I'm sure the illegals would have read the labels and decided that it wasn't a good idea to try to sneak into the U.S.
Nope! Just the brothers-in-law --Swindel and Cheetum....
A lawsuit, by claimants, against a manufacturer aledging poor construction leading to death of the claimants' relatives?
This for a product that was never intended to carry people!!!
Sounds pretty silly to me. Next thing you know, people will try to sue gun companies, not because the products don't work properly, but because criminals use the product for something it is not intended!!!!
Ruefully......

Gee - no escape hatches/latches. However, if someone had not locked them in from the outside, they could have just pushed the door open.
So they're sneaking into the country illegally, and this trailer company is somehow responsible for their deaths? Beyond the pale.
Correct me if I got something wrong here....
And some attorney took this case. And attorneys wonder why people don't think much of the profession.
Now that is one dumb idea! How many puerto ricans who are now gainfully employed riding the puerto rican trolly car to work would you put out of work.
"lacking warning decals.."
No doubt those will need to be in both English and Spanish too, right?
LOL!!!!
"And some attorney took this case.."
Took this case? My guess is some attorney drummed up this case.
"Not intended for use by those illegally entering the USA. Asphyxiation may occur if locked from the outside. Not intended for use as a human smuggling device or medium."
What a stupid lawsuit. And I'm going to be even more pissed off when they win the case.
The ther mis "Beyond the Pall"
That being:
A large cloth, esp., a heavy black cloth, thrown over a coffin at a funeral; sometimes, also, over a tomb. [1913 Webster]

Not picking on you, everyone uses it incorrectly.
