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.
tell me you're american without telling me you're american
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
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.
sounds familiar think i now that from watching the knews
Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.
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.
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.
