where you can sue a 4 yr old for negligence :banana:

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20021342-504083.html

NEW YORK (CBS) Two 4-year-olds, a girl and a boy, are racing bicycles with training wheels on a New York City sidewalk when they crash into an 87-year-old woman, who is severely injured. Can the 4-year-olds be sued for negligence?


A Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice has ruled yes, in a case reported Thursday in the New York Law Journal

The supreme court system is a broken system that is under control by lawyers.

There is a way to fix it, but chances are it will not happen

For what, having to change his diapers too often?

Tassos you are in Baden Baden?

I lived in Weitenung from 1986 until near end of 1990. I was with the Canadian Airforce then. Worked in the center dispersal on the airbase serving with 421 Tactical Fighter Squadron at the time. Just saw on google earth that my old squadron buildings and the A/C shelters are still there.

Many fond memories, a great place to be.

cheers,

Do not know.  I remember reading about this a question was asked how young a person has to be to be sued.

All the lawyers involved should be shot.

Well, maybe not the lawyer defending the kids.

Were the 4 year olds actually racing?

Was the 87 year old doing the speed limit?

Did anyone run a stop sign on the sidewalk?


Seriously, it is awful that a senior citizen was severely injured. To go ambulance chasing is just rediculous in this instance. This all based on the limited info we actually have of course. There could be some other things that happened leading up to this accident.
