A wrongful death claim in the District of Columbia has netted the parents of 2 deceased children 1.2 million dollars. A man killed them via vehicle while fleeing police in 2004.

Police attempted to use undercover deceit to catch a suspected drug dealer, when they botched the sting, the dealer panicked and fled.

DC officials deny responsibility, claiming that they broke off pursuit prior to the incident.

The parents maintain that there was no reason to pursue the suspect, and even state one officer refused to give up the chase when ordered.

The real tragedy is this, those children were struck in a CROSSWALK, in arms reach of their father, the children were thrown 140 feet through the air, and died in their fathers sight! This disturbs me because as a father, my greatest fear is something liek this or, that i will lose my family to a drunken driver. The words to describe this feeling escapes me, but its a terrible and horrrendous thing to ponder.

When the police screwed up the bust and realized they werent getting him they shoudl have left it alone. Period. Be professional or go back to bed. Drugs? Hey drug dealers wouldnt exist if people didnt WANT the drugs. Go stop terrorism or soemthing!

A Florida jury has awarded several million dollars to a man who received brain injuries in a two car collision. 6,500,000 to be precise.

According to the local newspaper, the victim did not seek medical treatment immediately for his brain injuries simply because he did not realize the depth of them at that time. The brain injury changed the mans capability to earn income and his personal behavior.Also, the man recieved a back injury that will require many operations and physical therapy for life.

Things like this break my heart, I wonder how a person with diminished capability finds a way to carry on, and some even do so in a happy and cheerful way. My hats off to them.

A Federal Jury  has given  a man $10 million dollars by deciding his employer’s insurance carrier acted in bad faith when they turned down his claim for benefits from a  back injury.

The jury is debating  to also award the man with  compensation for punitive damages in additional to the 10 million.

The worker was a computer tech at Norwest Financial at the time he injured his back while  picking up papers that had dropped to the floor. He was diagnosed in severe pain, but his workers compensation claim had been rejected.

The adjusters say he had  two prior surgeries on his back. They claim the injury worsened an existing condition.

The 10 million dollar verdict was to assuage his mental and emotional pain after being denied medical assistance based on a bad faith ruling.

 Knepper chose a doctor out of the yellow pages to do her liposuction, and then did   the procedure. teh doctor wasnt even a surgeon he was a simple dermatologist.

Of course she had some complications. SHe claims she wouldnt have chosen him if she knew he was not board certified. WELL CONSIDER LOOKING FOR MORE THAN A PHONE BOOK ADVERT?! Perhaps a certificate on the office wall? i dont know!

Of course, does she sue the doctor? Naw, she sues the phone book she found the doctor in! She wins 1.2 million for her and 375,000 for her husband’s (loss of spousal services) . What the ^@$@#!!

Robert Clymer is a veteran FBI agent that plead guilty to a DUI and is now suing the maker of his vehicle because it caught fire after he slipped into unconsciousness behind the wheel.

Mr. Clymer had a blood alcohol of .306% almost 4 times the legal limit, and was out cold when the fire department pulled him from his burning vehicle.

The FBI agent was ticketed for dunk driving, and taken to the hospital.

He plead guilty to the DUI, and recieved a suspended jail term.

2 weeks after that, he filed a liability lawsuit against the truck manufacturer and the dealer who sold it to him.

In the suit, the plaintiff claims he parked on the roadside with the motor runnign to make a call on his cell phone. He then “somehow lost consciousness” and the vehicle “somehow produced a heavy smoke that filled the passenger cab”.

In my opinion this guy is a degenerate and should be arrested again for being a nuscience to a perfectly reputable manufacturer. Hes in the public eye, and as a representative of our national police, the FBI, he needs to seta better example. He screwed up, now take the heat. Your truck isnt the piece of crap sir, you are.
