Too bad spiders can't read law books or it would have know to stay outside.
The spiders are venomous.
Not poisonous.
If you put up a sign that says “Spider Free Zone”, would all the spiders stay away?
What a stupid lawsuit.
It’s Texas. Brown recluse spiders are ubiquitous. In Kansas we lave learned to avoid them, like rattlesnakes.
I used to work in a place that had Brown Recluse Spiders all over the place.
One employee was bitten and lost the end of his finger.....................
Add to the contract...
“At any time, a meteor may come down and crash into the dwelling. This may result in injury or death. Also, the house may have spiders in it...”
Shouldn’t this be added to the articles of impeachment?
In which case, shouldn’t one of the spiders be asked to testify?
My brother died from a recluse spider bite, and the subsequent horrible care he received at the VA.
“...was bit by a brown recluse spider...”
What? Really? Bit?? You mean bitten??
I read someplace that you are never more than five feet from a spider at any point during your daily activities.
This lawsuit is ridiculous.
If the man was raising them you would have a point. As they are a naturally occurring pest common to the area you have no more claim then you would if you got malaria from a mosquito bite.
Ohio had a SC ruling that said rain, ice, and snow are known hazards so property owners are not liable for slippery conditions and do not have a burden of care to warn people about them.
Common sense... isn’t so common anymore
I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider 22 years ago on this inside of my thigh.
It hurt at the time, but I thought it was no big deal until the next day when there were giant red/brown/black lines running from the bite to the tip of my toes and up my chest.
They put me on a drip antibiotic; almost died of sepsis.
Still a nasty scar.
It’s Texas.
Brown Recluse spiders live there.
I hope the SC throws out this ridiculous lawsuit.
Raccoons, opossums, coyotes, bobcats and snakes call this area home, as do you. Generally, they are only trying to survive in an ever-changing environment. You can take steps in your yard and home to deter visits from these animals...
Spiders are the reason why God invented flamethrowers.
Seems terribly silly IMO. Every human habitation has spiders, some of which are venomous. Even if an adult is bitten by a brown recluse, the vast majority of the bites are non-events medically speaking. Most people bitten don’t even realize it or notice a small red bug bite that might itch some. Only a small percentage of bites go on to tissue death or more serious consequences.
“McCall filed a lawsuit against the property owner Homer Hillis, who claimed he should be liable for his suffering since he didn’t warn him of the possible danger at the property.”
I heard that Homer also refused to “suck the poison out”, tsk tsk.
I always know where I’m sticking my fingers or anything else.
