David and Delia Jimenez of Newburgh consider themselves very religious Catholics, so, when Mrs. Jimenez’s diagnosed cancer disappeared two years ago, they attributed it to their praying at St. Patrick’s Church. Mr. Jimenez wanted to show his appreciation, so his wife asked the priest if he could clean the large crucifix outside the house of worship as a thank-you. He was granted the OK and, on Memorial Day 2010, as he stood on a step stool scrubbing the stone image of Jesus Christ, the monument toppled over, crushing his leg....
....[attorney Kevin Kitson] said the insurance company representing the Archdiocese of New York has not offered to settle the case so he will be seeking between $2 million and $3 million for Mr. Jimenez’s injury.

They should sue him for breaking it.

In cases like this frequently the injured is told by the injuror to sue to cover medical costs. I don’t take this as anything more than how you do business.

Probably lost his balance on the step stool and grabbed the crucifix to keep from falling. I wonder what kind of cancer he had?

Question #1 — Can he bring this kind of suit? Does he have standing?
Question #2 — Can he win this suit? Does he have a leg to stand on?

He assumed the risk, so he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. [rimshot]
