I'm always amazed at what "Defendants knew or should have known" that goes beyond what ordinary people "knew or should have known".

Haven't seen a picture of the plaintiff, but something tells me it took a few moments for the sensation of the extremely hot bench to work its way through the cellulite.

Usually, the only people at Jerry-World who get a case of the red a$$ are Cowboys' fans when Romo tosses another ill-timed interception or loses the football in some other way.

I hope she loses and the Jury or judge fine her for being stupid.

Vipe:

I always thought Tarrant country was a pretty conservative county. I know it is a Democratic country but I still thought it was more conservative than say Dallas Country or Harris Country?

Maybe you could help me as I really don't know much about Tarrant County, do you think a Tarrant Country Jury would be good for her lawsuit?

 

[Hook 'Em Danno]

May have to agree to disagree on this one, ViperHorn. Although there are going to be anomalies from time to time, based on my experience in practicing law in Tarrant County for over 20 years, the chances of this lady getting anything from a Tarrant County jury (regardless of what they look like) are somewhere between slim and none.

Part of me thinks how stupid could you be to sit on a marble bench in August and the case should be thrown out. The other part of me hopes that the jury awards her the stadium and the team

Hook Em':

Thanks, I live in Denton County and I originally thought that about Tarrant County. I thought maybe Vapor had some insight into Tarrant that I didn't know about.

Anyway, they need to fine her for being stupid, I wonder if she is from Texas and lived through August in Texas before. Does she sit on her leather car seats that have been in the sun for 8 hours? Did she not feel the heat from the bench when she started to sit down?

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Similar to the lady who sued McDonald's for the hot coffee she spilled on herself, if her request for damages is reasonable, in the eyes of a jury, but then Jerry plays hardball and blows her off, I think a jury sends a message to Jerry and makes him pay.

If she is expecting to collect 25 mil right off the bat, she's done.
I'm no lawyer but once had a dream I made love to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Sometimes my steering wheel gets too hot to touch when I park my car in the sun for a while. I guess I should sue the automaker.

 

[ViperHorn]

Danno and Major, while parts of Tarrant County are red, my experience with Tarrant County juries where a person is bringing an action against a well funded company, the well funded company is in trouble.

 

[dillohorn]

Sounds like the kinda crap that went on all of the time when I lived in Hidalgo County for 5 years.

 

[Das Mook]

How short were her shorts that it burned her ***? Impressive (I think).

 

[Mesohorny]

A third degree burn? A THIRD degree burn? How long would she have to park her *** on a hot black marble bench before reacting to the heat and jumping up? Seems like she'd have to sit there for more than a second or two to get that bad of a burn.

"Ouch...oh...hot...hurts...wow...gee...mercy...my oh my...I guess...I should...get off...this...hot...bench......"

 

[BevoJoe]

3rd degree burns...her clothes would have been smokin' if they didn't actually burst into flames! Tis doesn't pass the smell test....

 

[Statalyzer]

Asphault tends to get up to over 130° in the summer heat ... maybe I'll find a random business, sit in the parking lot, and sue them for not having a warning sign up.

It's amazing to me how many people refer to the "McDonalds Coffee case" when they have not read it for themselves, and rely on others motivated by the insurance lobby to interpret it for them. McDonalds kept the coffee nearly boiling, they had recieved many complaints about the temperature, and then argued to a jury that had seen the medical records of a diabetic lady who had skin grafts in very delicate parts of her body, that the number of complaints and injuries were "statistcally insignificant" when considering the number of cups of coffee sold by McDs worldwide, on a dialy basis.

This lady at Jerraworld probably should have known that the dark colored seat would be hot on a sunny day, but so should the people responsible for designing things like football stadiums. Maybe she has a hard time wolking, like with arthritis. Or maybe her attention was on her kids. Who knows? But juries are really good at discerning the ******** from the valid claims, and I trust my fellow citizens to be fair. Everytime the jury system gets diluted, we lose a little piece of democracy. The insurance lobby loves to find the dumb cases and trumpet them to you in order to erode confidence in juries. Nobody ever writes about reasonable juries reaching fair verdicts that neither side is especially excited about. Who wants to read about that?
