thats a load of crap ...
I don’t understand how this caused her long term injury.
This can’t end well.
I take it she was sitting down (is this being indelicate?) She reaches for the TP dispenser which is where? Was her hand on the floor for some reason and the dispenser fell on it. I mean in relation to where she sat and the ‘usual’ distance a TP dispenser would be. Even if it was those plastic double roll models the device would have pushed her hand aside as it fell.Something doesn’t pass the smell test.
Did her husband have to finish the paperwork for her too?
Another one to tell my friends in San Sai. They love to laugh at my stories of idiotic law suits. However, some days I just have to puke when I realize this obvious stupidity is doing its part to destroy America.
Who’s gonna pay for the damage when her finger poked through the toilet paper?
this all stinks to high heaven....I think they pulled this half azzed decision out of their butts...and some of you need to just wipe that smirk off right now. That sort of crap has to stop. We need to keep this all clean and flowing in a proper manner.
Judges that refuse to admit any notion of common sense or rationality in their judgements.
The cases are innumerable and include a judge in DC suing a drycleaner and bankrupting them for a pair of lost pants with “emotional value”.
Common to both sets: crap and frivolous lawsuits....Johnny Edwards
I guess it will be BYOTP from now on.
Oh, puhleeze. A toilet paper dispenser lid fell on her hand and disabled her for life? Not buying it.
That thing is toilet seat level and below. How in heck does that break a finger unless she was feeling around on the disgusting floor when it fell on her hand? Doesn’t make sense.
What a bunch of crap.
eeeeehhhhh.... no...
How high up on the wall was this dispenser?
This is from the ruling:
Plaintiff was a patron of a Texas Roadhouse restaurant owned and operated by defendant, where she alleges that, while she was using the restroom, a plastic toilet-paper dispenser fell open onto her, causing a broken hand. After the incident, she returned to her table and finished her dinner and subsequently returned to the restaurant on several occasions before filing suit nearly a year later.
One of my wife’s co-workers joined her on a business trip to Taiwan. One evening they were partying at a classy restaurant, he in a nice suit, when he needed to visit the men’s room.
He was in shock, that there were no toilets, only a large hole in the floor. But he had to go - badly.
So he takes off his suit jacket, hangs it on the door, then drops his trousers as far as he dared without them being on the floor; then leans back as far as he could, to use the hole in the floor. To help his leaning, he placed his outstretched arms on the door handle and leaned back as far as he could.
With that the door flew open, then broke off its hinges, whilst he fell into the hole in the floor with the door landing on top of him. Yelling for help, finally a waiter came in, helped him up, and tried to clean him off as best as he could.
Passing my wife’s party table, he called it a night, and consoled himself in his hotel room with a nice hot shower.
