New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company.... And won. (Or at least settled)

And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

Is it the story about trucks, or spelling "knew" as "new"?

Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

exactly this "florida man hit himself in the head with a hammer, sued the hammer company and won a bazillion dollars" stuff

Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald's convinced the public of so they wouldn't have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.

And then he new what to do next and bought his whole family hammers from the hammer company.

Sure. I am physically, morally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually superior to everyone from anywhere else in the world.

How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.

[–] Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Did he win or did they settle?

It's been almost two decades, I'm pretty sure it was a settlement though.

That's the real question.
