Today's Lawsuit News

Story One: Air France is getting sued because she wasn't allowed onboard her flight. Why? Because she has no arms or legs. In the words of an Air France employee:

A head, one bottom and a torso cannot possibly fly on its own.

That was dumb. Suer - 1 Suee - 0

Story Two: Kid sticks his head out his school bus window. The driver swirves to avoid a squirrel. Kid hits his head into a tree and dies. Now the kid's mom is suing.

Garcia, who has since moved back to Texas, claims Gregory drove too fast and too close to the trees that lined the road and did not properly monitor students on the bus.

The school district is at fault, the lawsuit claims, for allowing the windows wide enough for Raul to stick his head out and for failing to warn Raul of the dangers.

The city and state are at fault for failing to properly design and maintain the road, the suit claims.

I'd say the kid's at fault for being stupid enough to stick his head out of the school bus window. Suer - 1 Suee - 1

Story Three: Tiebreaker. A child, 5 years old, gets on the wrong bus. Kid tells the bus driver so. Bus driver orders said 5-year-old off the bus five miles from home. Some nice person takes her to the police department where, an hour later, she is reunited with her parents. If the parents sue the bus driver (which they should), then: Suer - 2, Suee - 1.
