    A law firm rejected my mom's case because it didn't fit their criteria, or something. My mom wanted to sue a nursing home/hospital because they injected something into her mother while she was already dealing with breast cancer and brain surgery, this causing her to die.
    Edit: I don't know why I didn't clarify this, but the reason my grandma needed brain surgery was because in the nursing home she fell down in her room and busted her head. Despite pressing the alert button for help, the nurses didn't arrive until minutes later. My grandma had blood gushing in her brain, and so doctors had to remove a piece of her skull to drain out the blood. She survived the surgery but months after the doctors never repaired the hole in her skull and that would prevent her from continuing her chemotherapy due to the risks. Then, without telling my mother first, the doctors gave her that injection. Which in my opinion, just because my grandma agreed to get it doesn't mean you didn't need to alert a trusted family member for a second opinion, because (A. She was just recovering from brain surgery so her brain was still fuzzy. And B. My grandma was known to make bad decisions such as walking around without her cane, or cleaning when she isn't in good condition to stand up for hours on end. In her defense though, back then in her youth doctors actually wanted to help their patients, so of course she would trust the doctor even if said doctor would inject snake oil into her body. She could've possibly made it through if those doctors fixed her skull sooner; or if those nurses got to her room sooner; or even if she never got that shot.

    Lifeguard one: If you live in the United States, don't be afraid to try to save someone's life for fear of being sued. The US has Good Samaritan laws that protect people who make good faith efforts to save the lives of other people from litigation, even if the attempt causes harm.
    For example, if you come across an unconscious person and perform CPR on that person, you are likely to break that person's ribs. That's just what happens when CPR is performed correctly.
    These laws came into place after a person was sued for saving a life, and then people stopped trying to help distressed people for fear of being sued.

    My hubby and I got rear-ended in Atlanta Georgia, line of traffic stopped, we stopped, car behind did not stop. Her car was totaled, we drove our truck home (10 hours away). Couple of days later I start getting calls from attorneys wanting us to sue the woman that hit us....

    Just wanna say - that Chuck E. Cheese one is not dumb but legitimate. Sure, you could talk about the father probably should have kept a closer eye on the kid, but a compartment where a person could have their fingers cut off was left open in a restaurant that caters mainly to children.
    Not securing hazardous compartments like that which you know children are going to be around, and a kid getting injured as a result, is a pretty open and shut case of negligence to me. It's not the legal responsibility of parents to guard against the negligence of employees. Now - if the tech had actually secured the compartment properly, and the kid had to pry it open and basically break in in order to get hurt, THEN the lawsuit would be stupid.

    In some cases your life insurance company will require you to sue before they pay out for a claim. The insurance company does not like to pay out so will arm twist their clients into suing whomever they can apportion blame to re-coup their loss.

    Hello there until very recently. I was a case consultant for the Morgan and Morgan law firm. I am not an attorney, but I was trained to gather the relevant information from people to put into their case files. Some of the dumb reasons people have called include but are not limited to a Walmart employee, bumping his shoulder intentionally so now his shoulder was numb. The woman who called because she ran her car through her garage door after she admitted to accidentally hitting the gas instead of the brake pedal, the woman who called him because she broke her nose by grabbing the middle cannon. The stack of cans in the top part of the stack fell on her, the gentleman who tripped over his own underwear at a hospital and hit his face on the floor. Someone get hit in the face with a pie and apparently severed there’s mine from their skull people trying to start lawsuits from 10 years ago. It’s always fun as well there’s more but you get the idea.

    ya'll remember that scene from the Incredibles Bob getting sued by the guy he saved from jumping off a building and that train car of people from the blown up tracks that movie wasn't exaggerating and it is the reason why people are reluctant to go out of their way to save someone and Good Samaritan Laws exist now

  • @jeremyrichard2722
    @jeremyrichard2722 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I know a bit about the good Samaritan thing. You have to understand that the US has this weird problem with precedents being able to overrule the intent of laws if someone can justify that the meaning was unclear. This means in the case of things like good Samaritan laws since they rely on a certain degree of common sense, and subjective reasoning, they can oftentimes be overruled in certain cases to allow someone to sue or take action and then those precedents can be used to cause problems later, a sort of "exception based on an exception" thing.
    To explain it, in the US our Good Samaritan laws basically just cover someone intervening to save another person. This can be acting to protect a victim of violence, or going to rescue them in some other way. A lot of this can go back to things like the case of Kitty Genevieve who was stabbed to death in the open and no one would stop the attacker as they were afraid of legal repercussions. If you ever read "Watchmen", Rorscarch's mask was actually supposed to be made of a piece of her dress which was a statement in of itself, and literally why he does what he does. He was in part acting based on a real incident that also happened in his comic book world.
    The thing is though that in practice since the laws are subjective someone who say gets the crap beaten out of them while assaulting someone else can oftentimes use the subjective nature of the laws to claim that the force used was disproportionate or something. Say if you beat up a guy mugging a lady with a knife in an alleyway and broke all four of his limbs. That guy could claim you were basically using his admitted crime as an excuse to torture him. Granted it's not typically something like that, but he will make a similar kind of argument, and oftentimes it comes down to what the jury thinks, especially if he's in civil court. Let's say the guy is black, and your white, and he was admittedly attacking a white woman to rape her at knife point, he admits that, but then claims you used that as an excuse to torture him and are effectively not a good samaritan but a racist vigilante. If the jury are black people from a certain sort of neighborhood, you can sort of see how those precedents can happen. Even if you just hurt the guy badly by accident while you were fighting, he can claim otherwise. if you say acted in understandable anger and say literally shoved his own knife up his ass, causing severe rectal trauma, he could possibly sue you for his ass reconstruction surgery. Kind of justifies why super heroes wear masks, doesn't it?
    On a medical front, and with things like life guards, the person can argue that even if you were acting in good faith you were not qualified to render assistance, so you did damage by botching it. The argument being that if you had helped by say finding someone more qualified, as opposed to trying to be a hero, they would not have been injured. this kind of issue is the root of a lot of complaints. To use the lifeguard example, let's say the little girl was drowning at a private beach club, and the lifeguards are all also basically cabana boys who are hired mostly on their looks. The little girl who was put down too roughly and say has to have her back looked at has a mother who questions "what kind of qualifications did you have to do that?", and will say draw on her great body of knowledge from "Baywatch" re-runs to realize that many lifeguards are actually pretty heavily trained, and the part timer probably isn't. It is a jerkish thing to do, but understand in many cases the motivations for stuff like this are oftentimes expensive medical bills they are looking for a way to deal with. Also understand in many cases like that specifically they are less going after the lifeguard, than the employer, the Cabana boy probably can't pay anything, but the club can. That is one side effect of our medical system.
    That said I will point out that in the medical cases at least there is an easy way to deal with the problem, as the accusation is generally going to be you injured someone trying to be a hero/glory hound. You just say you didn't think you had time and no one else around seemed to be better able to handle it.
    Other countries do tend to be more reasonable about many things the US is bad on, but likely have their problems in other areas. Foreigners tend to not realize that one reason why Americans tend to be sue crazy is that in the US there can be a lack of certain kinds of support, and a lack of assumed responsibility some other countries take for granted. See a lot of Americans in other countries that scream about law suits and get "WTF" reactions, are oftentimes doing it because they assume if they don't, certain things they need won't happen, when those things are going to be taken care of automatically.

    18:25 yeah perfectly normal. People shouldn’t take that kind of insured lawsuit so personally. I have had someone injured in my home, their well being was important to me- I begged them to let me take them to get checked out. They took a bad blow to the head that was 100% my fault for leaving some cardboard laying on a slippery floor and very accidentally but very much stupidly and very much because of my laziness creating the situation that sent them ass over tea kettle. They were more worried about me. I have nothing to take. If a pickup with a quarter million miles on it and a broken Darth Vader action figure are gonna make a difference I suppose I’ll just have to hand em over, but the fact is that a bunch of investors who have no idea how messy my apartment can get agreed to be on the hook for stuff like this as long as I give them 16 bucks a month, and it’s gotta be the single best deal I’ve ever made. Thankfully my friend was ok without medical care and there was no claim- probably saved me a free phone calls and a ten buck a month premium increase- nice of my friend to tough it out for so little reason.

    @PM-James 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good Samaritan laws aren't an American thing, nor is exploiting the lack of them or loop holes in weak ones. Typically when a case like that does occur, it's injury related. Like somebody passed out and you did chest compressions to keep them alive till paramedics arrived. Turns out you broke their ribs while doing it, so they sue you for damages. Something like that.
    Good Samaritan laws are intended to prevent something like that from happening. Without them, you can be sued for that and due to precedent, if you are found liable, than it's easier for future cases to result in the same verdict. There's a particularly infamous example of that happening in China and the consequences of it as recently as the mid 2000's.
